GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is going to have to confront the confusion surrounding his Mormon faith at some point during the campaign, the head of the Washington, D.C.-based Interfaith Alliance said Wednesday.
"There is a lot of misunderstanding, there are myths, there are misperceptions about the Mormon faith," the Rev. C. Welton Gaddy, pastor of a Baptist church in Louisiana, said during a teleconference on the role of religion in the 2008 presidential election.
The Rev. Gaddy said Romney likely will have to give a speech similar to one given to Southern Baptist leaders in 1960 by then-Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy to address concerns raised about the control the Catholic Church might hold over him.
