"You are caught in the dilemma that ensnares everyone preoccupied with fanaticism. You describe Mormonism in a way that makes perfect sense to non-Mormons and no sense to Mormons themselves. This means, to me, that you are describing the inside of your own mind as much as the reality of Mormonism. Mormons will hear a lot of this so long as Romney is in the race, and it will baffle them every time."
Columbia University Professor Emeritus Richard L. Bushman criticizes The New Republic's cover story on Mitt Romney and the Mormon Church. (And the story's author responds.)
And Bushman later pens his own defense of Mormon politicians.
