re: #391 Cineaste

Yes, to some extent. But more that I look at the case of people like Kim Clark, the former dean of Harvard Business School, who stepped down to run BYU-Idaho when the head of the church called him and told him he had to. They believe that the head of the Mormon chuch is a living profit and his word is God’s command. I worry about anyone who claims to be a devoted follower of any religion where God’s word is delivered by any individual. How can you be a devoted follower of that church and still maintain autonomy as a civilian leader. Unless Romney specifically states that he will ignore all instructions or “advice” from the head of the Mormon church, I remain wary.

this is a 50 year old nontroversy that should have been put to rest after JFK was elected as a Catholic in 1960
