testify of the wrong

This is only going to get bigger in the days to come. Jenkins wants to portray the pope as the anti, but he's seen nothing till he sees a Mormon as President of the world's most powerful nation. The article towards the end quotes a Slate piece that says that "religious voters care more about core values than theological minutiae".

Mormons and Evangelicals don't disagree over "minutiae". That's the understatement of the millennium. That's like calling Mt. Everest a bit of a slope. The difference between Mormonism and Christianity is the same size as the difference between atheism and Christianity. They are not overlapping circles.

Romney can make whatever PR statements he wants. The press will cover this as they cover all religion -- badly. But the bride of Christ can NOT be fooled by this issue. Clinton over Romney? Yes, a wicked "believer" (I use that loosely here) over a non-believer any day of the week.
