I know that Romney is part of a small 15% of Mormons who form a more secret portion of the religions leadership, and that is why the girl’s parents were forbidden to witness her marriage, after she was converted by her Governor, and married to Mitt Romney.
I am curious if a President Romney would at some point have to bring in special secret service agents who are part of that secretive Mormon group. Could that ever arise during his Presidency?
As far as I know he is part of the “Priesthood” as any adult male who abides by the faith and who has completed his 2 years of Mission service is. I’m sure that Huntsman is too. I really don’t think this has anything to do with running the country.
The inner sanctum of the Temple is closed to anybody who is not a full fledged Mormon. When they built the huge Mormon Temple in Oakland, CA, they allowed towns people to tour the Temple before it was dedicated. I did not go (I’ve always regretted that) so that everyone could see it before it was closed to the public. I think people stood in line for a whole month before they shut the gates to outsiders.
Every religion has its own rules and only uncivilized “clods” like Bill Clinton would disobey them. (Remember when Clinton lined up for Communion at a Catholic service in S. Africa?)
