Mormons also have a strong sense of family and community, they successfully practice capitalism, they tithe, they must do community service, they must plan for famine and times of need, and they have great respect for the founding documents of this country.

But the difference between them and Catholics is Mormons do that among each other primarily..and the goal is for them and their organization not others outside their group. They are similar to Islam in that respect, you are either a Mormon or not....and if not you cannot be included. Which is why Muslims and Mormons get along....they are pretty much on the same page...it's forced upon them to be as you wrote....or they are endanger of loosing their salvation.

Both are fear based because it works. Both are under leadership who keep their members submissive by fear and or punishment of one form or another...and to keep the revenues flowing... I don't see Catholics even close to either of these for the most part.

I did not mean to imply any similarity between Catholics and Mormons. I am a very traditional Catholic, and I am well-schooled in my Faith.

Rather, I see Romney, a Mormon, more appealing than Obama in the sense that he lives in a way that is responsible to his neighbors, in a similar way to the Good Samaritin who, though a non-believer, acted in an admirable manner.
