I can remember when JFK was elected. People were crying about his religion. The pope did not run American when JFK was prez.

And there are HUGE differences between Catholicism and Mormonism and between the Pope and LDS prophet.
Some points of departure
1) Several LDS congress critters HAVE ADMITTED to being pushed and ordered to vote the way the Mormon prophet wanted them to (Bob Bennett being one) and doing so even if it violated their conscience.
2) 13 Mormon congress critters WENT as a delegation to Switzerland to lobby for an exmption JUST FOR THE LDS CHURCH to a law that affects ALL RELIGIONS and missionary work.
3) The Pope is in Europe, the LDS prophet is in Utah.
4) JFK did not take a blood oath to put the LDS church (not God not Christ) above EVERYTHING. Mitt did.
5) The LDS church still teaches that they will take over the US Government during the Millenium and Christ will rule from Missiori.
I can source all of these things and more.
