Throughout the primary campaign, Republican Mitt Romney has dodged questions about his Mormon faith. Now, trailing in Iowa caucus polls to conservative Christian Mike Huckabee, Mitt is taking off the gloves. He’ll address his faith in a news conference scheduled for today.

I suspect he will echo President John Kennedy, who argued he was not running as a Roman Catholic candidate but the Democratic candidate, and will continue to dodge specific questions about the Mormon faith.

Here are some resources for understanding the Mormon faith:

Mormonism vs. Traditional Christianity (a helpful chart from Belief.net)
