Thanks for the info because my question was how he got a temple recommend in the first place. I’m familiar with the vetting process and personally know Mormons who have been denied for far less egregious behaviour.
That certainly answers THAT question!
A lot of people misunderstand the Mormon religion, for instance they think that it is pro-life.
Here is Mitt Romney in August of 2012, after winning the nomination, Mitt also has a Temple Recommend and has been both a Bishop and a Stake President, and has excommunicated mormons.

PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.
