I can’t figure out how Bishop Romney escapes this.
If a Catholic Bishop, especially one believed to be destined to become a Cardinal or possibly Pope after his Presidency, were running for the GOP nomination, he and his church would come under deep scrutiny.
Bishop Romney is that guy.
As a Bishop and then a Stake President, Bishop Romney is expected to ascend higher in the Mormon church to at least the level of Cardinal, and possibly to the position of Prophet or Pope, as his uncle was in line to be when death claimed him. Mitt is also the son of a Bishop and is believed by many Mormons to be the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy.
Mitt’s religion seems to be virtually dogma-less at this point in time.
The worse problem is that it generates a lot of fanatic followers who will want Mitt at almost any cost. Even if he has more waffles than were ever created by Toastmaster brand appliances.
