The Atlantic: Mitt Romney's case for getting married young
MR says: Interesting that this school of thought is counterculture right now.

Mitt Romney to speak at LDS-centric Southern Virginia University commencement

Jewish rabbi: A Mormon walks into a temple...
MR says: A great "what they're saying about us" piece in which the rabbi commends Mormons for the way we've handled ourselves publicly and hopes for better interfaith relationships between Mormons and the Jewish community.

The "Mormon Moment" Yields . . . Not So Much
MR says: More data on the recent Pew poll about Americans' attitudes toward Mormons, which doesn't seem to have changed much over the past few years.

Is the Mormon Moment over?
MR says: This author believes it's absolutely not. No sooner had Mitt Romney lost the presidential election than various pundits and journalists began to declare that the "Mormon moment" was over.

BBC News: Has the Mormon mystique been lifted?
MR says: A really in-depth report of the mainstreaming of the Mormon faith. He didn't win, but Mitt Romney wasn't far off.
