//The belief that Christ was married has never been official Church doctrine. It is neither sanctioned nor taught by the Church. While it is true that a few Church leaders in the mid-1800s expressed their opinions on the matter, it was not then, and is not now, Church doctrine.” //
That is a lie as my quotes above prove. It is LDS doctrine and commonly taught among other LDS.
I work with a devout Mormon - he does not claim Jesus was married and said those who do are mistaken. Every religion has its black sheep/nuts/fringe “representatives”, even the Catholic Church. Yet, we constantly jump on Mormons - perhaps it’s some of that self-hatred coming out for those who claimed (and still claim) that Mitt was every bit as bad as Obama - when you have that sort of crap to clean up from your “thinking”, you will resort to any avenue to distract from your foibles (the last not aimed at you - enough here will feel the slap).
The Catholic Church does not classify Mormons and Christians. They’re closer to being Protestants than Catholics, but they are neither.
not yet, but He will be when we get there
There is mention of a “beloved disciple” in the scriptures. It would have been unusual for a practicing Jew of those times to be unmarried beyond his teen years. Maybe that disciple was His spouse. Someday He’ll tell us.
I thought I knew most of the gross doctrinal errors of the Mormons but I missed this one.
