Great symbolism!
Mormonism has attacked the Catholic Church. It claims that all authority was removed from the Church and that the entire world fell into apostacy. Mormonism claims that all Protestants are in effect Apostate Catholics and as such have even shakier legs to stand on.
When Mormons leave their faith after discovering the many lies and cover-ups, the fantasy and deceptions, they most often will leave religion and God entirely. Most ex-Mormons become Athiest or Agnostic. I myself was agnostic for almost twenty years except when I dabbled with astrology, or new-age mysticism.
I as blessed beyond comprehension that the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, bent down and breathed life into my dead soul. I doubt if even a Eucharistic Catholic could imagine the depth of surprise, gratitude, love and surrender I feel.
Thank you for your invitation!
Well said, thank you.
Being a Christian, and never in the past been a Catholic, Protestant or Mormon, I can relate to your experience.
