Mormon blogger faces church discipline, but why?

There’s a story circulating on the Internet and in the mainstream media that a Mormon blogger in Florida faces LDS Church discipline for writing critically about GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. That’s not really what’s happening, said the blogger, David Twede, at least not the political link.

Twede, managing editor of mormonthink.com, a website that explores LDS history and practices, did get a letter from his LDS leaders in Orlando, summoning him to a disciplinary council Sept. 30 for "apostasy," which they attributed to Twede’s writings.
