Well, the Catholic Church wouldn't use the word "cult" for Mormonism. It would use the word "heresy."

That said, I consider that my #1 priority in November is the removal from office of Barack Obama.

Excellent point.

Strictly speaking, if we followed the sentiments of those who have ruled out Romney because of his religion, we Catholics would not have been able to vote for any presidential candidate except Kennedy, because, in Catholic teaching, all the rest were either heretics or apostates.

So, although I don’t really understand Mormonism, and Romney is far from my first choice, I prefer him to the “christian” Obama.

We always reserved the term "cult" for those damned turncoat Lutherans who started that whole Reformation mess in the first place! ;)
