A national spotlight on LDS beliefs
Romney: He is feature of Time and '60 Minutes'
|
A close-up, black-and-white photograph of Romney dominates the May 21 Time cover that hits newsstands today and asks, "Sure, He Looks Like a President. But What Does Mitt Romney Really Believe?" The cover also refers to a second story, "The Debate Over His Mormon Faith."
Both of the reports focus attention on Romney's membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Time asks, "Is it sheer bigotry to say you won't vote for someone because he's a Jew? A Muslim? What about a Mormon?"
In the Time profile, Romney said, "My faith has made me a better person than I would have been." But most of the lengthy cover story deals with his shifting political beliefs as he attempts to appeal to conservative voters.
Romney has been characterized by critics as a "flip-flopper" for campaigning in Massachusetts, where he served as governor, as pro-choice on abortion before adopting a pro-life position after he was elected.
