This week The Washington Post published two articles in its On Faith blog musing on Mormonism and Christianity and politics. Will Mormonism impact the 2012 presidential election? One post gives a Christian case for Mormon values. The other post gives a case of Mormons and Christians as political “blood brothers.” Even in our own CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, contributing writer, Francis J. Beckwith, wrote an op-ed in 2007 called, “Is It Permissible for a Christian to Vote for a Mormon?”

But is Mormonism Christian? The answer is a firm and resounding no. CRI has published in-depth research on Mormonism since the inception of our ministry 51 years ago. You can search this website for many free articles on Mormonism. In a succinct YouTube video, Elliot Miller, editor-in-chief, gives just two distinctions that demonstrate Mormonism is not Christian. As Elliot says, “Mormonism is Mormonism.”
