It just occured to me that in all the media coverage (Washington Post, et al) of the church and Romney, that not one commentator has mentioned the old Mormon folklore that in the latter days, "the constitution will hang by a thread" and will be rescued by the Church.
There are plenty of wacky end-days beliefs, but I think this one is unique to Mormons. Of course, maybe this is another oldy but goldy teaching that has fallen by the wayside of the mainstream.
Or have I been just oblivious?
I would be nervous if a President saw himself as playing a key role in bringing about the apocalypse instead of working to avoid it.
