Re: NY Times: Mormon Candidate Braces for Religion as Issue
[ QUOTE ]
Mr. Romney’s candidacy has stirred discussion about faith and the White House unlike any since Kennedy, including a remarkable debate that unfolded recently in The New Republic. Damon Linker, a critic of the influence of Christian conservatism on politics, described Mormonism as a “theologically unstable, and thus politically perilous, religion.”
The article brought a stinging rebuttal in the same publication from Richard Lyman Bushman, a Mormon who is a history professor at Columbia University, and who said Mr. Linker’s arguments had “no grounding in reality.”

There have been several liberals that have said similar things about Romney & Mormonism lately. It's one of the all-time LAWLZ how by omission they must apparently just LURV the Pope's positions on sex, birth control, and gays, and consider Catholicism (or Evangelicalism or Wahabism, ftm) a "theologically stable" religion.
