Mormons call on Santorum to denounce Pastor

In response to a March 9th press release and subsequent March 12th press conference, Pastor O'Neal Dozier of the World Wide Christian Center in Pompano Beach, FL has generated significant buzz about the Mormon religion, even calling it "racist" while asking Mitt Romney to denounce it. Dozier is also an honorary chairman for the Rick Santorum campaign.

Now, Mormons have fired back and have called on Santorum to denounce Dozier.

Via the San Francisco Chronicle:

MormonVoices today called on Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum to condemn the anti-Mormon comments made by his supporter, and honorary Florida Chairman, Reverend O'Neal Dozier. The New York Daily News and multiple other media outlets have reported that Dozier proclaimed that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly referred to as the Mormon Church, is racist and said that the Church "is prejudiced against Blacks, Jews and the Native American Indians." He therefore demanded that Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney publicly "renounce his racist Mormon Religion." He claims that in so doing, he hopes "to foster and maintain good race relations here in America."

Here is the text of the press release Dozier issued on March 9th:

Dear Pastors and Friends:

You are invited to attend a new/press conference on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 11:00a.m. at The Worldwide Christian Center Church, located at 450 North Powerline Road, Pompano Beach, Florida, 33069.  The purpose of the news/press conference is to publicly ask Republican Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney to openly renounce his racist Mormon religion.  We believe that this will help to foster and maintain good race relations here in America.  Gov. Mitt Romney is not a casual Mormon Church attendee.  His position in the Mormon Church is higher than a Bishop.  He holds the position of a “stake” which presides over twelve (12) Mormon churches.  Yes, Gov. Mitt Romney is one of the heads of the Mormon Church.  The following are just a few of the numerous racist teachings of the Mormon Church:

The Mormon religion is prejudiced against Blacks, Jews and the Native American Indians. These allegations are substantiated and validated by the writings of the former Prophets and Seers of the Mormon Church. The Mormon Church says that the Book of Mormon is “the most correct book, even more correct than the Bible.” The Book of Mormon in 2nd Nephi, Chapters 5:21-23 accuses God of cursing African people and causing them to have black skin in order for them not to be attractive to white people. These verses also accuse God of causing the black African people to be disgusting and detestable to white people. Furthermore, these verses accuse God of being against inter-racial marriages between blacks and whites. The Mormon Prophet, Brigham Young in the (Mormon) Journal of Discourses further degrades black African people by saying that they are uncultured, unattractive, unpleasant, low-life, wild and unintelligent. Prophet Brigham Young further states that “if the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain (black person) the penalty under the Law of God is death on the spot.” Also, according to Mormon Doctrine, Native American Indians were also of the class of the cursed because their skin was also a darker color. Both Alma 3:6 and Mormon 5:15 of the Book of Mormon degrade the Lamanites, which are the Native American Indians in the same way they do black African people. The Mormon Church is also prejudiced against the Jews. In the (Mormon) Journal of Discourses, the Mormon Prophet, Brigham Young railed against the Jews in a very hateful way when he said, “I would rather undertake to convert five thousand Lamanites (Native American Indians), than to convert one of those poor miserable creatures (Jews) whose fathers killed the Savior… yes, I would rather undertake to CONVERT THE DEVIL HIMSELF, if it were possible… I would say, leave them and come home, the Lord does not require you to stay there, for they must suffer and be damned…leave them to live and die in their sins and ignorance…they take pleasure in their wickedness… (Mormon Journal of Discourses).

Also, it is newsworthy to mention that the Mormon Church has a bizarre Mormon practice that involves posthumously baptizing Non-Mormons by proxy. According to Helen Radkey, a former Mormon, both Adolf Hitler and Ted Bundy were baptized at Mormonism’s ground zero-Utah in 1993 and 2008 respectively. -In fact, Radkey reported that the Mormon Church attempted to conceal the Hitler baptism. Helen Radkey also claims that the Mormon Church has posthumously baptized Holocaust victims, serial killers, 9/11 hijackers, Muslim terrorists, etc.

Because of the aforementioned facts, we believe that a Romney Presidential nomination for the Republican Party would widen the racial divide to a point of no return, because the Republican Party would be viewed as a racist political party. Romney’s nomination would cause the erroneous view that has long existed in the minds of black people, that the Republican Party is prejudice to become a reality. Also, if Romney gets the nomination, President Obama’s super pacs will educate the American people about his racist religion and he will probably lose to Obama.

Please come out and be on time.  We will start promptly at 11:00am.  If further information is needed, please feel free to call me at (754)366-3392 or (954)987-2020.  Please circulate within your circle.

Again, as I've written here, here, and here, if Romney is the Republican nominee, the mainstream media will be far worse in its attacks on Mormonism than Dozier is now.
