re: #404 DaddyG

He may have already overstepped and been called on it. He is very adept in walking right up to the line and not quite crossing it. Any counselling in the church is going to be confidential unless he openly and knowingly opposed basic church doctrine and refused leaderships calls to stop. The LDS church does not typically take political stands. (Proposition 8 being a recent exception and a surprising one to me outside of defining marriage as a moral issue).

I was particularly disappointed in Beck, Romney and Reid (all politically prominent and public Mormons) for ditching on the New York Muslims given our own religious pioneers were driven from state to state for their peculiar beliefs and rumors of their dangerous ways.

I think the “offiicial” church stance can be found more in the partnership between the church and the Islamic Aid group.
