I knew Romney was a Bishop but somehow missed the "High Priest" title or simply forgot. It's so disturbing to see those who seem to think Romney's position in LDS isn't going too play into this Presidency if he gets it. They forget the same thing was said about Obama and Wright's church and look what we got! ....A President who goes around on the international stage bowing to Muslim leaders...changing visa restrictions so more can come in...and changing NASA to a "welcome mat" for them.

Foolish imbeciles who haven't a clue how religion has played a political role throughout History and that worldwide...and people died because of it! Americans are soooo dumb downed in the area of religion and what it is.

Ezra Taft Benson


Ezra Taft Benson (August 4, 1899 – May 30, 1994) was the thirteenth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1985 until his death and was United States Secretary of Agriculture for both terms of the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower.
 

In 1953, Benson was appointed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture by President Eisenhower. Benson accepted this position with the permission of Church President David O. McKay and therefore served simultaneously in the United States Cabinet and in the LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
