As a Catholic who is totally put off by the tenets of the Mormon religion I came some time ago to the realization that as what we call family values and what are actually Christian ways of living have crumbled and withered in the general nominally Christian population, there is one group of people that has faithfully and strenuously retained those values in their daily lives. Somewhere someone once said that God works in mysterious ways.

If the Christian population is abandoning the Christian ways of life- family values and such, He maintains those values in a different place that Christians may recognize them. I do not fear a Mormon's religious beliefs as president and a Mormon's "family values" could only edify us. I have other reasons for not liking Romney and strongly wish he were not the Republican candidate but his religion is far the last and least sensible reason for Christians or Buddhists or Jews or almost any other believers (save Moslems) to oppose him.

Very well said.

I was raised RC when the Mass was in Latin and before hootenannies replaced pipe organ music.

Living in Idaho I interact with many Mormons. I don’t agree with all of their religious beliefs but I certainly feel more comfortable with their views on the importance of family and living virtuous lives than with the views of libtard members of ANY major religion. I wish more Freepers would try even a little bit to understand this. They ARE NOT mudslimes for God’s sake - they are patriotic Americans!

To know them is to respect them. How many Catholics can say that about joe biden or nanzi pelosi or the other satanic “Catholics” of the commiecrat party?

OK so hairy reed is an A-hole but he is only one “man”.

“As a Catholic who is totally put off by the tenets of the Mormon religion”

It is interesting that this exact statement would be, and frequently is, made by many Born Again Christian Protestants. Living in a Catholic city I find many protestants from other area feel this way. It makes your complete statement extremely sensible to me and I wholeheartedly agree.
