If you are Catholic, then you might know that your denomination says that Mormonism is not Christian, it is a different religion created by Joseph Smith.

"If you are Catholic, then you might know that your denomination..."

The Catholic Church is not a denomination. By definition, if it were it would not be Catholic. It is THE One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church. Only schismatic and heretical groups are denominations.

Peace be with you

My FRiend,

This is not a matter of either or. My church or your church can have opinions about who is in full communion, and I fully accept that those decisions may color your view.

My church, the Catholic Church, seeks always to see the humanity of persons as God sees them, as his children. Must children be corrected or admonished? Certainly.

I go to sacramental confession every month because, objectively, I know that I sin. That may be quaint or absurd to you, but I will continue to do so.

It is a recognition of my fallen humanity and the path I am on to try to become the person Christ wishes me to be. He wishes me to be a saint, not as we perceive sainthood, but as He does.

You may snipe at those who are not of your faith community, but you imperil yourself if you do not recognize the humanity and real aspirations of others to wish to truly come closer to God.

In all sincerity, I wish God to bless you with an abundance of His graces.

Sursum Corda
