(CNN) - Shortly after Republican presidential
candidate Mitt Romney enjoyed cookies and soft drinks with the Rev.
Billy Graham and his son Franklin Graham on Thursday at the elder
Graham's mountaintop retreat, a reference to Mormonism as a cult was
scrubbed from the website of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
In a section of the website called Billy Graham's My Answer there had been the question "What is a cult?"
Answer: "A cult is any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith."
"Some of these groups are Jehovah's Witnesess, Mormons, the
Unification Church, Unitarians, Spritualists, Scientologists, and
others," the site continued.
No longer. On Tuesday, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association confirmed that page has recently been removed from the site.
“Our primary focus at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has
always been promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ," Ken Barun, chief of
staff for the association, told CNN in a statement. "We removed the
information from the website because we do not wish to participate in a
theological debate about something that has become politicized during
this campaign." Continue at CNN
