And conversely, are those outside the Catholic Church regarded as true Christians by that Church?
For Catholics, the question here revolves around baptism. Mormon baptism is not, in the judgment of the Church, a true baptism, while protestant baptisms generally are. So broadly speaking, in the Catholic view, protestants are true Christians—Christians who may lack aspects of the fulness of the truth at times, but true Christians. (And if the lack of the fulness is through no willful fault, this may be better than having the fullness and not living it.)
Folks, please do not vote for Romney if you have an iota of principle. Ask yourselves this: what is worse an Obama 2nd term with congressional opposition or a Romney presidency with the republican congress singing “Kumbaya”? I dont know the answer but we have to stop rewarding lefty republicans if we want to stop getting them.
