“There’s “official” Mormonism with its clean if severe living ideals, then there is nod-and-wink Mormonism. Mitt is more characterized by the second.”
Yeah, just like the ‘Wink, Wink, Nod, Nod Catholics who look the other way as regards the likes of Pelosi, Biden, Sebillius, et.al, who routinely go against the tenets of their religion, to say nothing of the hoards of “secular progressive Jews.” who sell out their people in Israel ( as well as those here in the US). I will venture a guess that even the vaunted “Evangelicals” have non-adherents in their midst though they are too pious to admit it.
See post 29, and we can assume that Bishop Romney will ascend to higher levels within the religion in time.
The Bishop is not an indifferent Mormon, he is one of it’s most devoted leaders.
Strawman much?
Anyhow this is about Mitt and the concern about Mormon influence upon the way he would govern if president.
