Billy Graham's group removes Mormon cult reference from website after Romney meeting

By Eric Marrapodi, CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor

(CNN) - Shortly after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney enjoyed cookies and soft drinks with the Rev. Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham on Thursday at the elder Graham's mountaintop retreat, a reference to Mormonism as a cult was scrubbed from the website of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.


In a section of the website called Billy Graham's My Answer there had been the question "What is a cult?"

Answer: "A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith."


"Some of these groups are Jehovah's Witnesess, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spritualists, Scientologists, and others," the site continued.

No longer. On Tuesday, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association confirmed that page has recently been removed from the site.

“Our primary focus at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has always been promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Ken Barun, chief of staff for the association, told CNN in a statement. "We removed the information from the website because we do not wish to participate in a theological debate about something that has become politicized during this campaign."

Romney is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members of which are known as Mormons.

Last election the country was receptive to voting for a black person- now even the right wing appears more progressive as they seem more tolerant of a minority religion that many before thought of as a cult...

Maybe a positive of this election is that more of the religious sects and the right wing Repubs will become more tolerant and acceptive to beliefs that are different than their own... :)

"White Guilt" by you liberal idiots got Buckwheat elected last time.

Now that he has had his chance and set racial harmony back 100 years and blew it, it's time to move on.

I have lived in the middle of, & amongst Christians all my life and have never heard a bad word spoken about Mormons. Not one.

Maybe a positive of this election is that you will become more tolerant and acceptive to beliefs that are different than yours.....maybe you'll quite calling people cultists, right wing extremists, and other such names.

And maybe pigs will fly.

If only the leftwingernuts, progressives, dems could be as tolerant as the Conservatives then this country could get on the right track

By the way, if America elects a Mormon will all the mooselum terrorists that die go under the Christian tally or the Mormon tally? Just so I can keep up.

Do we have a tally for Atheist soldiers, Jewish soldiers, etc....
