Why is no one concerned about Mitt Romney’s position in the Mormon Church, or Latter Day Saints? This is one controlling organization that keeps close tabs on all its members, telling them what to think, what not to drink, how much money to give to their church, and what kind of undergarments to wear.

He has also risen high in the ranks of church leadership, becoming a stake president, which is above a bishop.

If he is elected, it would be the first time in American history that the nation has a president who is also a clergyman of a specific religious group.

That is frightening, particularly for those who hold sacred the strict separation between church and state.
