In another thread, Steve Benson mentions Mitt Romney's dodge on the issue of controversial Mormon doctrine:

"Mitt's dishonest escape hatch: It's Mo practice, not scriptural doctrine that matters."

http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,462679,463793#msg-463793


But we know that Mormonism currently has many practices about which a lot of people would like to know Romney's opinions. Since he apparently has no objections in discussing religious practices, has he been pointedly questioned on the following controversial Mormon church practices?

The PRACTICE of not allowing non-member family and friends to attend a Mormon member's temple wedding ...

The PRACTICE of spending hundreds of millions (billions?) of dollars on temples and millions of hours on proxy work to "save" the dead, to the detriment of the disadvantaged and suffering masses of the LIVING ...

The PRACTICE of not ordaining non-whites to the priesthood office of apostle ...

The PRACTICE of questioning children as young as twelve, behind closed doors and one-on-one (without parental supervision), about their private sexual practices ...

The PRACTICE of not allowing full-time missionaries to attend the funerals of family members ...


Those are just a few that came to mind. What other Mormon practices should Romney be questioned about?

How bout the PRACTICE of using a lot of LDS money for political purposes such as fighting gay marriage?

How bout the PRACTICE of interogating children about personal masturbation habits.

How bout the PRACTICE of an old bishop getting his rocks off listening to a young woman explain her sexual encounter?

How bout the PRACTICE of dumping billions of church dollars into a mall?
