I doubt that JFK asked a Priest for permission to run for president.
The Mormon Prophet is of course over all men, including the Catholic Pope.
He is a mortal man until after death, then like Mitt Romney, he will become a God, he is also the “prophet, seer, and revelatorthe only person on the earth who receives revelation.”
You don’t understand that if Mitt steps out of line in any manner, if he comes out of the cult’s control in any degree, then he loses his place in the religion, and in the after life, he will not become a God for instance and can not even enter those palace like temples, the slightest failing puts him back with the 85% of Mormons who are forbidden to enter those temples and must attend the regular, plain, church buildings, and who are not privy to the inner secret world of the devout Mormons.
You gotta wonder why the “85%” even bothers, if being a non-god (and going to a Mormon hell) is their fate.
I’d think any priest that JFK saw would say he was glad to hear of JFK’s desire to be president, and that the priest would be glad to offer whatever guidance he could. It wouldn’t be a formal “permission” arrangement. Though I think there ought to be one based on such so called Catholics as Nancy Pelosi.
