"We are not contesting the right to protest," Mr Otterson insisted. "But when people go to the Vatican they are respectful. 1. Actually they aren't. They are typical loud gaudy underdressed tourists, even in the Churches themselves.
2. The Vatican is a sovereign State and may set whatever standards of behavior it wishes.
3. When people are videotaped having sex inside St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhatten for a contest, The Mormon Church needs to shut up about a few protestors outside their building.

Fundametalists and Secularists against Mormons...hmmm. Well, my Dad is a mormon, and my mom is a formerly ordained evangelical minister. The rest of my family is Methodist. As a consequence, I'm a secular social conservative libertarian. Irefuse to take sides, and I respectfully bow out of this conversation.

I don't know about all this making rules and freedom of speech stuff, but I do know that I am going to pray for the mormons to all get saved (through Jesus Christ).

However, incomers are often shocked by what they see as the church's control-freakery. LDS members are expected to avoid alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee and any kind of sexual display, and away from the cosmopolitan state capital, non-conformists can find life difficult: the licensing laws are restrictive, bordering on bizarre. That is of couse unless you are a Mormon Business that caters to the gentiles and you tithe..then as the Marriott Hotel chain knows ...the alcohol..coffee and porn just pours the dollars into the church coffers..it is called Hyprocity

LDS missionaries gathered up most of the best people in the British Isles and lead them to the USA in the 1800's and the leftovers still there are still mad about it. Even the best papers turn into tabloid trash tellers when the story is about the LDS.
