Your (I can only assume) willful ignorance is astounding. Please do yourself a favor and become acquainted with what the Catholic church actually believes and teaches, instead of the misinformned anti-Catholic teachings of various sects or churches.
The Catholic Church holds to ALL of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, embodied in the ecumenical creeds. (Indeed, it could be argued that the Catholic Church was responsible for the formulation of those creeds, which form the basis of even Protestant church teachings.)
In stark contrast, Mormons, who hold to a "plurality of gods" and are thus polytheistic, denying the historic, monotheistic understanding of Christians regarding the Trinity. They reject the orthodox teaching of Jesus Christ as the eternal Son of God and Creator, who has made a once-for-all atonement for mankind.
Mormons hold to a convoluted belief that Adam was the "god of this world" and that Jesus was the "spirit brother" of Satan. Moreover, according to Mormons there are innumerable other worlds which presumably have their own "saviors." Thus Jesus is not unique but is only one among innumerable "saviors." Thus Mormonism denies the unique, finished work of Christ on the cross.
Protestants surely have their theological disagreements with Catholics, but for you to lump the Catholic Church with this heterodox sect is wholly unwarranted.
BTW I am not Catholic but Evangelical Protestant.
You have no idea of my education on these matters. I’m well educated in the teachings of many faiths and I stand by my remarks. I’m a devout Christian with a strong education in Biblical studies at a large Baptist university. You have your opinion and I have mine. You deserve no further response from me and will get none.
I have used a reference book called “Kingdom of the Cults” for over two decades. Catholicism is NOT a cult. I do not ascribe to certain Catholic beliefs, but I think it is very wrong to consider it a cult. I’m so sorry you feel that way. Frankly, the Catholic Church is to be commended for many things, such as it’s stance on the sanctity of life.
And I’ll give them kudos for another thing. Lots of Protestant churches are falling apart and splitting over such things as homosexual clergy and female clergy. I think Scripture is clear that the clergy should be women. I’m sure I’ll take some heat on that, but I don’t think Scripture could be plainer.
We are facing two enormous challenges in the 21st century; the onslaught of secular humanism AND Islam. We have to stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ! So, let’s focus on the true cults and not beat each other up!
Pretty sure you pinged me on accident on this one. I’m not one saying that Catholics aren’t Christians.
