The Catholic Church doesn’t allow its clergy to hold public office, so that’s not something I’ve given any thought to. In any event, the Mormons don’t have the large professional clergy that the Catholic Church does. With few exceptions, it has a layman’s ministry which operates on a volunteer basis. A Mormom with the title of bishop is usually not a long-term position and it is not a paid position. It’s an apples and oranges anaolgy.

None of this means I support Mitt Romney. He is my least favorite Republican candidate. I don’t fault you for opposing him at all. Still, there is a wealth of material you can post without resorting to attacks on his faith. As I mentioned in my last post, did Romney attempt to force his religion on Massachusetts when he was Governor there?

The better question would be, did Romney enrich or empower the Mormon Church in any way as governor? And would he as president?

As a former missionary and a powerful leader in the Mormon Church, I'm am sure this is in his thoughts.

If he was a muslim, would attacking his "faith" be acceptable?

If Mullah Omar was running for POTUS, could he just show up at debate after debate and just not mention the fact that he is a top jihadi , and the media not care?

This is huge, he's not just some schmuck who shows up in Church every Sunday, ROMNEY-PRATT FAMILY IS THE MORMON CULT IN AMERICA, and he is at the top tier of the MORMON PRIESTHOOD.

This news needs to be spread far and wide, these are CRAZY people, and he is one of their leadership.

Bishop Romney could demand tax forms from Mormons, Bishop Romney could block a Mormon from becoming a God, Bishop Romney, and overseer of Bishops was, and is immensely powerful, in the cult.

Revealing the doctrines and theology of a little known, anti-Christian cult is a neccesity for conservative voters, it is not “attacking his religion”.

Christians need to know at least that Mormonism is not a Christian religion, that Romney expects to become a God himself, that they don’t accept the bible as authority, and some of the other basics.

Ezra Taft Benson


Ezra Taft Benson (August 4, 1899 – May 30, 1994) was the thirteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1985 until his death and was United States Secretary of Agriculture for both terms of the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 

In 1953, Benson was appointed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture by President Eisenhower. Benson accepted this position with the permission of Church President David O. McKay and therefore served simultaneously in the United States Cabinet and in the LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

True; but 'attacking' his 'faith' will expose it for the HERESY that it is and will save a multitude of souls from HELL.

If someone was running for president who was a Scientologist it would be fair game. I consider Mormonism sort of akin to Scientology, in many ways.
