He also is the nephew of the very General Authority and Apostle of the church, Marion Romney, who taught the doctrine from the pulpit to the entire church at the General Conference in 1966.
In his defense, I do not believe that Mitt Romney has overtly plotted such an LDS "New World Order." I am certain it was not even in the back of his mind as he ran for office. However, as you have clearly seen, it is in his spiritual DNA, in his blood, in his roots and in his temple obligations. He knows about it and avoids talking about it under any venue.
In a TV interview the weekend following his 2007 announcement, he said that
...his Mormon beliefs would not handicap his run for the Republican presidential nomination.
"I'm not running for pastor in chief," Romney told ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" Sunday. "I'm running for commander in chief." The interview with the candidate and his wife Ann was videotaped earlier.
In the announcement itself, Romney stated that the USA needed transformation.
Mitt Romney wants transformation. How do we know? The former Massachusetts Republican governor used the word "transform" or a variant no fewer than 13 times in his presidential announcement Tuesday. So when he said on Tuesday, "If there ever was a time when innovation and transformation were needed in government, it is now," Romney was accurately describing the need to overhaul the doddering status quo in health care, education and homeland security-- just for starters.
He was also correct when he added, "I do not believe Washington can be transformed from within by a lifelong politician."
Yet, his Theocratic mindset reveals itself when he talks about some things. Recently,
Romney said that the Hezbollah should be a role model for U.S. and urged emulating welfare projects used by terror group against Israel.
JERUSALEM -- Republican presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney cited the social welfare network of the Lebanese Hezbollah terror group as a role model the U.S. should copy to help promote "goodness" and "freedom" around the world.
Sections of Hezbollah's social welfare network, including schools and camps, are routinely used by the terror group to indoctrinate students in anti-Israel propaganda, instruct in military tactics and promote Shiite Islamic beliefs, including the waging of a final, apocalyptic world battle against "evil."
Remember, Mormonism Teaches That...
When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. Satan gets a great victory when we disagree or "do our own thinking."
The Church Prophet has the right to identify how the Lord would have us vote and who would dare disobey?
Now, does the office of the President of the Church embrace the right to identify for the whole membership of the church, and all the peoples of the world for that matter how the Lord would desire that we vote on certain matters? Certainly it does! Who would dare to proscribe God?
When the prophet speaks, the debate is over.
All LDS administration is done by direct Revelation from God.
