“Your grandchildren will call Mormons Christians, and look at Mormonism as the third branch of Christianity alongside Catholicism and Protestantism”

You were almost making sense up to that point.


This displays an astounding ignorance of Christian History and Theology. First of all, it overlooks the existence of the Orthodox; secondly it overlooks the Catholic stance on Mormon baptism — Catholic Baptism, Orthodox Baptism, and traditional Protestant Baptism are identical—Mormons do not share this foundation, which is fundamental to christianity, at least in the eyes of the Catholic Church, http://www.doctrinafidei.va/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20010605_battesimo_mormoni_en.html and I will bet everything that the Church does not reverse this stance even in the time of my grandchildrens’ grandchildren—what has been written has been written; and finally, theologically Mormonism is nuts—the people may be nice, and it is probably a nicer form of nuts than Islam, but if my grandhildren call Mormons Christian, I am going to be very annoyed at the failure of my children to educate their children (I’m a Catholic Theologian and my wife and I homeschool).

Also, at least as far as this Freeper goes, no vote for Romney. I may write in his VP if the choice is solid, but I will write in some one else for President—probably Coolidge. I have opted for write in or third party when better RINOs than Romney were running, though I have to say, at least he campaigns like he wants the thing. The childeren of this generation are wiser in their way than the sons of light.

You have just stated my inner thoughts better than I did myself.

That's an extremely telling statement and Thank You! in advance - because I'm stealing it.

He campaigns like he wants to win, and he has a team that know how to play the game.

It's a nice change, isn't it?

Protestant Baptism is not identical to Catholic Baptism

Baptism according to the Bible is immersion by those old enough to make a conscious decision to repent of their sins and believe on jesus Christ

Infants can do no such thing.
