Secret Oaths
Romney can't make the same promise that John F. Kennedy did. Kennedy, in 1960, promised he would not take orders from the Pope. Romney, on the other hand, each time he applies for a temple recommend, swears allegiance to the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator—the current President of the Mormon Church.
Not only that, Romney, each time he goes through the Mormon temple, swears assent to the following charge:
You and each of you covenant and promise before God, angels, and these witnesses at this altar, that you do accept the Law of Consecration as contained in this, (The Officiator holds up a copy of the Doctrine and Covenants) the Book of Doctrine and Covenants, in that you do consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.
