Other Salt Lake City media picking up on Romney's statement conflicting with Mormon doctrine include: ABC 4 and KUTV.

Due to length limitations for excerpts, you will have to read the article to see how Mitt's comments are not really in conflict with LDS doctrine.

Could be me... but enough of the Mormon * he said * * he said *

How's a body suppose to know what Mitt Romney's platform is if the Mormon nonsense is spewed daily by the media???

I-slam and the LDS faith have the same basic problem, i.e. belief in prophets and prophecy in our age of the world. In real life, the last real prophet died somewhere around 2500 years ago. The first paragraph of the book of Hebrews describes prophets as a thing of the distant past at the time of Christ.

Makes one wonder whom Mr. Romney thinks Jesus Christ was. Does he acknowledge the words spoken by Jesus, recorded in the Gospels as God’s? Just wondering.

Not surprising ~ there's a current of thought in the Christian Church movement (all three kinds) that the time of prophecy or of miracles is past ~ and another current that says it continues.

Given the rather intense addition of Christian Church theological questions to the original Mormon movement, wouldn't be surprising at all to have some Mormons still debating those points.

Or, maybe Mitt is a secret Morrisite or something. Might ask him.

If the LDS Church leadership was going to direct the politics of members, Mitt Romney and Harry Reid would have always voted pro-life.

YOU: ...you will have to read the article to see how Mitt's comments are not really in conflict with LDS doctrine.

THE ARTICLE:"That gives him wiggle room," Shipps [the Mormon scholar that the author cites] says. "That's wiggle room all over the place."

ROTFLOL

"wiggle room"

Big booming voice, “Kent, this is God.”

"Should God speak to you, and ask you to do something that might be in conflict with your duties as president, or should He speak to your prophet who would speak to you, how would you make that decision, how would you handle that?" reporter Natalie Jacobson asks.

Romney laughs and then replies, "I'll hitch up my magical underpants and do what Mr. Smith tells me, by gum!"

I’m not a Mormon, so count me as not giving a rat’s @ss.

Who cares? He’s not a preacher.

You know Mitt is the exact image as his father they have distored this photo so much he has lost his father looks!

They must have taken that Picture of Mitt to Iraq Photoshop!

“or perhaps some others,”

Wiggle room? Oh man, this really beats all! God speaks to Mormons unless he doesn’t speak to Mormons!

This is good enough for at least a year of dissection owhat the word is is.

The reporter’s question is a critical one - either Mitt is a flat out apostate, or he believes the church Prophets get revelations that can influence the presidency.

Either way he is a potential loose cannon.

But I know the drill, Mitt is a God and everyone who opposes him is a bigot, meany, and just icky.

Fine answer from Mitt. Much ado about absolutely NOTHING.

I think Mitt's sick of the petty "gotcha" games played by the MSM, and this answer reflects his disgust.

[damondonion]

One thing about a Mormon president... you can forget anything Romney might have ever said or done about gun legislation in Mass., the Mormons in Utah would never tolerate any such. Utah has more firepower than many nations.
