No, the Romney's in Mexico no longer practice polygamy, and have not for about 100 years. They are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has prohibited the practice.
Within the Catholic Church, there are various lay positions such as catechists, lectors, and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion. These roles allow laypeople to actively participate in the Church's mission by spreading the teachings of the faith, proclaiming the Word of God, and assisting in the distribution of the Eucharist. By serving in these positions, lay members help to strengthen the community, deepen spiritual growth, and support the overall ministry of the Church.
As of January 2011, there are 14.1 million baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide. Estimates are that about 60% of those actively practice the religion.
