Whats this suppose to mean ???
“he said. “I think someone who has been a part of a persecuted religion is going to be even more sensitive to the issue of religious freedom.”(
The Catholic Church is being persecuted by Obama’s HHS, as they implement Obamacare rules that are forcing contraception including morning after pills in healthcare plans.
Romney gets that. He mentioned that in his convention speech. Millions of catholics are on to this. Obama is attacking religious liberty. As Biden would put it, its a BFD.
“he said. “I think someone who has been a part of a persecuted religion is going to be even more sensitive to the issue of religious freedom.”(
I am not Mormon. But I think it has to do with the violent persecution of Mormons (and some of them, yes, did fight back) in the 19th century in the US. Some moved to Mexico, like Romney's great-grandfather. In Mexico, they, like many other overtly religious people, were persecuted by Mexico's anticlerical leftist government early in the 20th century.
Romney was my last choice among the GOP candidates, but the persecution of Mormons is a fact of history. None of us knows Romney's heart, I suppose, but it stands to reason that, if his family and co-religionists experienced persecution, he may have learned that religious persecution is not a good thing.
