Black Clergy Group to Demand Romney Renounce Mormonism

[J. J.]

Catholicism never claimed to have direct divine revelation that blacks would never be admitted to the priesthood.  Yes Mormonism later had a later revelation to reverse that policy (tho it took until 1978!) but like Romney himself, the Mormon church's changes in policy over the years have appeared to be based more upon expediency than any other factor.  Unlike Romney, the Mormon church has claimed its policies are divinely inspired.

No, they just authorized slavery for for a few centuries (thank you Alexander VI).  It was revoked as well, in 1993.

Mormons are Christians?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?  I'd say so.

So does Islam FWIW.

Believe in the Holy Trinity - you're Christian. Reject it, and you're not.

Mormons may believe they are Christian, but insofar as they reject the Trinity they are just one of many splinter groups that have done the same thing over the ages.

So do some other churches, Unitarians, for example.  Also, many Protestant denominations are wishy-washy on it.

Is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea a democracy?

No, but Mormons are.

It can easily be argued that Mormons are not Trinitarians or "orthodox," with a small "o."  They are closer to it than most non-Trinitarian Christian groups.
