First, I don't care that Romney is Mormon, nor do I care about any other candidate's religion, BUT I would like to know if it informs them on policy issues and if so how? I think that is legitimate. Also, there IS a separation of church and state inasmuch as we don't want our President or Congress beholden to anyone except for the People (us).
So, with that said, Tim Russert asked Romney whether he thought that the Mormon Church's policy of denying African-Americans the right to practice their religion until the late 1970s was wrong, Romney refused to denounce the Church's policy as to not offend his Church...that I have a BIG problem with. If you asked any of the Christian candidates was it right for their Churches to justify slavery, I would hope that most would denounce that practice. So, if Romney couldn't openly denounce overt racism by his Church to not offend them, how can we expect he'll answer to us and not the Mormon Church.?
