What I find freaky about religion and the 2012 primary, is that if a Catholic Bishop, especially one believed to be destined to become a Cardinal or possibly Pope after his Presidency, were running for the GOP nomination, he and his church would come under deep scrutiny.
Bishop Romney is that guy, except not in a Christian church, but in a secretive cult.
As a Bishop and then a Stake President, Bishop Romney is expected to ascend higher in the Mormon church to at least the level of Cardinal, and possibly to the position of Prophet or Pope, as his uncle was in line to be when death claimed him. Mitt is also the son of a Bishop and is believed by many Mormons to be the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy.
“As a Bishop and then a Stake President, Bishop Romney is expected to ascend higher in the Mormon church to at least the level of Cardinal, and possibly to the position of Prophet or Pope, as his uncle was in line to be when death claimed him.”
where have you heard this expectation that Romney is expected to ascend to the position of prophet? is this from a mormon source? if you look at the mormon heirarchy, Romney has a number of other folks that are more likely to become the next prophet of the mormon church than he is. the mormons call these folks apostles, and i don’t believe that Romney is an apostle. recheck your sources for clarification.
