Possibly the best defense I have seen so far of the Romney, Mormonism, and particularly the upcoming Mountain Meadows massacre movie. And its from a former Mormon:

Let’s put it this way: In 2000, the Vatican essentially issued an apology for having persecuted Galileo as part of the inquisition and contributing to his death under house arrest. What if in 1959 a film about Galileo had come out starring Peter Lorre as Pope Urban VIII and Walter Winchell had written a column suggesting that Catholic presidential hopeful John F. Kennedy had better comment on the film and clarify his views on heliocentricity? It would be absurd. Every Catholic in 1959 believed the world revolved around the sun, just as every Mormon now believes that murdering women and children in the name of their church is reprehensible.
