[Apologetics] Why Romney Can't 'Solve' His Mormon Problem

[Art Kelly]

Thanks for your comments, Bret.

The full article stated that Catholics, Jews, and
Muslims were not worried about Mormonism, but
evangelical Protestants were.

I just got an e-mail from Jim Murphy, who wrote that
he is coming to town for a visit after Christmas. 

I'll see if we can set up a meeting with the gang.
