Is Abby Huntsman still a Mormon?

[bluestateguy]

I ask because in this Huffington Post segment she seems to ask some pretty critical questions of Romney and his Mormonism.

1. Id say the whole Huntsman family is Jack Mormon at best

Last year, Huntsman told Fortune that he receives “satisfaction from many different types of religions and philosophies” and doesn’t consider himself to be “overly religious.” (A New York Times article last week noted that Huntsman’s comments to Fortune made a splash in his home state; “many Utahans can recite from memory” Huntsman’s quote, according to the Times.) In March, the Washington Post reported that “Huntsman’s relatives and friends describe him frequently as an independent thinker, unbeholden to any church or party doctrine,” and that “many Republicans faithful to the church in Utah dismissed Huntsman as a ‘Jack Mormon,’ a derogatory term referring to a non-practicing Mormon.”

In Huntsman’s personal life, there are signs that he does not strictly adhere to Mormon practices. While Mormons are forbidden to consume alcohol, Huntsman occasionally drank the bajisu liquor that is “mandatory” at official dinners in China, according to RealClearWorld.com. (The report added, however, that Huntsman would discreetly try to switch to water after his first glass.) The Huntsmans’ second daughter, 25-year-old Abby, was married last year at the (Episcopal) National Cathedral, with the dean of the cathedral performing the ceremony. During his first weekend home from China, Huntsman chose to attend a non-denominational church in South Carolina rather than any of the Mormon churches in the area.

Its extremely unusual for an active believing LDS person to not get married in an LDS Temple. One must go to church, pay tithing, no drinking, no sex before marriage etc to go to the temple. Im not sure if who she married is LDS.

2. What a question

This is a foolish question. It supposes that Mormons somehow should not, or are barred from, criticizing one another in public life. The ecclesiatical court system and Mormon civil law barring brethren from suing one another was abolished over 100 years ago. It never pertained to public criticism. Why would such a thing be "outlawed" now? Mormons have their own thoughts and opinions. The Church does not take stands on political candidacy. And there actually ARE liberal Mormons. Judging a person's membership in the Church by their politics is idiotic. And last time I checked, the 1st Amendment guaranteed both freedom of speech and of worship. So, what's so wrong with one Mormon disagreeing with another in a public forum?
