I’m Catholic, and I oppose Romney. It has nothing to do with his religion, and everything to do with how strong he’ll be standing up for conservative values and ideas. He certainly didn’t do that too well in MA. In fact, when he ran against Teddy the Swimmer for the Senate, he tried to out-liberal old Teddy. At that point, I realized I didn’t have much use for him, though I did vote for him against Teddy, then again, I voted for him for Governor, because the only other option was a radical feminist. If he makes it and becomes the Republican nominee, I will vote for him, but in the primary on Feb. 5th, I’m voting for Fred.

Fair enough, SuziQ. Everyone is entitled to the candidate of their choice, and I respect the advocacy of candidates. What we have on this forum is a small claque of Fredheads who are on a crusade vs. Mitt Romney using propaganda and smears rather than honest statements of personal opinion such as yours.

What we have is a Catholic who pings a large number of Catholics on forum every day posting the Daily Office and Mass, who has been visibly and vocally anti-Mormon and now purporting to hold up Fred as THE pro-life candidate to Catholics who are solidly in the camp of another candidate, Mitt Romney.

I didn’t even realize this topic was posted in the Religion Forum until way after I contributed my posts. I don’t understand what qualifies this article for the Religion Forum, except for the fact that Salvation and Petronski seem to enjoy protection in this forum.

That is fine, too. It just took me a while to realize it. Not my forum, I don’t make the rules nor do I have the hard task of being a moderator. I just want to say if we are being warned re personal attacks, then include me in that warning per at least one of the comments I made to Salvation.

"There is a contingent of pro-lifers and Catholics who have touted their lack of support for Romney under the guise of issues, like the life issue, when their REAL reason for not supporting him is his Mormon religion."

While the above is true, note that I use the word contingent and not all and I didn't mention you specifically as one of those who are a part of that contingent nor did I ever think it, as I have read many of your posts regarding this presidential race. There are also Catholics and conservatives who oppose Romney's candidacy on grounds other than his Mormon religion, a fact I have stated on this forum several times, and have always seen you as one of them.

It has only been recently that I have realized there are Catholics who oppose Romney principally and primarily because he is Mormon, the spirit of which is in opposition to our precious faith, imho and the reason for my comment was as a reminder to those people.
