OK so If I attacked your Religious choice of lack there of I would be the bad guy.......
I'm Catholic. You must have missed the part where I equated this to not eating meat on Fridays during Lent.
But could you provide me with links where the Catholic Church and a Catholic university came out to clarify a church teaching for Catholics, so as to benefit a Catholic candidate? I'd love to see those.
Actually, that sounds like his own interpretation of the rule. The "Word of Wisdom" prohibits "hot drinks." That has, for over 150 years, been officially interpreted as "coffee and tea." Many Mormons drink caffeinated sodas because they are not prohibited. I suppose someone could argue that "cold coffee and tea" are permitted, but that would technically be in conflict with the official stance of the Church.
Apparently its the interpretation of his local church. All I know is he was bouncing off walls by the end of the con. Thata a LOT of sodas... (the usual is the parties provide them free and the consuite as well so you can dring as many as you want without it costing a fortune).

What? The LDS Church has "clarified" its position on caffeine so many times the rest of us have lost count. Perhaps you just tuned in late.
Incidentally, the LDS Church is going to be in the news a lot during the next few months, and Church officials are going to be asked to comment on every conceivable doctrine. If they answer, "Sorry, no comment," they're being secretive and uncooperative. If they issue a statement, they're doing so "to benefit Romney." Maybe you'd be so kind as to contact Church headquarters with your advice on how they should respond to the topic of Mormonism when it comes up from here on out, because it seems to me as if we're kind of between a rock and a hard place.
Hmnn - just remembered a quote by a federal judge who was working in Utah - he said something along the lines of "I don't care if you are under the influence of LSD or LDS - both make you crazy" (I am paraphrasing because I don't have the book that contains the quote with me).
Ah - I found it - Judge Willis Ritter said this:
"No, no, Mr. Rhodes," Ritter said, "that's enough for one day. It isn't really that important whether this young man was experimenting with LDS or LSD. Just the slightest exposure to either one and a man begins to hallucinate."
The book is titled D.B. Cooper: The Real McCoy by Bernie Rhodes and Russ Calame - both former FBI agents who believe that D.B. Cooper was Richard McCoy - who died in a shootout with the FBI in 1974
Uh huh. This is the first time that a presidential candidate's religion has been discussed. First time ever. Poor Mitt. Such a martyr.
But I do wonder if this is the first time that a major institutionalized religion in the U.S. has clarified its own religious teachings for the sake of one of its member's political campaigns.
Or had members of his religious congregation pave the way for his acceptance speech. I found that really offensive - Jesus Christ should not be an official participant in the election of the POTUS.
The tea party has a new name now, calling themselves the Douchebag Neocon Confederacy church?
