Romney seems disingenuous

Mitt Romney, as a good Mormon, must pay 10 percent of his gross income to his church in Salt Lake City. He thus supports an organization that battalions thousands of missionaries throughout the world to explain to their audience that they have the wrong religion and will not fare well in the hereafter unless they switch to the Mormon tithe-demanding religion. Yet today he espoused tolerance in matters of faith. Is he ... what do we call it these days ... "disingenuous"?
