Thanks Ken! I’m Lutheran, but I agree with your comments.
Does /did Romney mention that he is a practicing Mormon? Did he say or suggest that the faith is important to him, helps him, defines him?
If so then it’s 100% legitimate to discuss it. Maybe if he gets elected he will try to impose some of his views on all of us.
I grew up in a large city where the population was predominantly Catholic, but lived in a Jewish-Catholic neighborhood. We were Lutherans who had to go to the ‘burbs to find a church.
Many years after I left the city, I realized that my Jewish and Catholic friends chose which tenets of belief to accept and reject, while feeling true to their faith. Since then, it makes no sense to me to develop an opinion on someone based on their religious affiliation.
ELCA or Missouri Synod?
