Mitt Romney is now spinning and even denying the religious doctrines he is obliged to support as a pillar of the Mormon church:

Another case arose when George Stephanopoulos of ABC News asked Mr. Romney about a Mormon teaching that Jesus will come to the United States when he returns to reign on earth. Mr. Romney responded that the Messiah will return to the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, "the same as the other Christian tradition."

Mr. Grover said some of his radio listeners were astounded.

"They were just in disbelief, saying that’s not true, Jesus is coming back to Missouri," Mr. Grover said. "It’s the L.D.S. Church’s 10th article of faith that Zion will be built upon the American continent."

He’s also bucking the church on how he speaks of its history of polygamy, once a central doctrine of Mormonism. He’ll say anything, remember, and pretend to believe anything to gain power.
