“Catholic doctrine allows for the recognition of any valid baptism”


Here is a little more on their Mormon answer.

>”Summing up, we can say: The Baptism of the Catholic Church and that of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints differ essentially, both for what concerns faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in whose name Baptism is conferred, and for what concerns the relationship to Christ who instituted it. As a result of all this, it is understood that the Catholic Church has to consider invalid, that is to say, cannot consider true Baptism, the rite given that name by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints.”<

That’s the point. They have a different understanding of the Blessed Trinity than orthodox Christianity. Therefore, their baptisms are invalid...
