I just don't have it in me to condemn a person for their religions views if they are decent, family oriented , productive people.

LOL, you condemn all of Protestant Christians in service to the Mormon cult.

I hereby await the fires of hell as my eventual fate for this character flaw.

Your Catholic pose is getting holes, as you mock Christianity, again, in service to the Mormon cult.

One of the ways Mormons ‘build common ground’ with Catholics is to attack Protestants. Also, the views of authority, extra-biblical teaching, revelation and hierarchy are the same.

I was taught that Catholics were easy targets (the phrase used was ‘open to the Gospel’) because of these things and specifically to go after Protestants which I never felt comfortable with.

I had one class at BYU on “American Christianities” where I got into a fight with the professor because I corrected him on the Immaculate Conception vs. Virgin Birth (he got them mixed up). My interest and background in Catholicism came in handy when I was LDS and ‘teaching’ or ‘preparing’ my Catholic friends - most of whom were CINOs.
