Evidently biblewonk believes that discrediting Mormonism has something to do with Roman Catholicism.

His original statement was...

"I just learned that the Mormons have a Heavenly Mother! How very similar Heavenly Mother ~ Queen of Heaven ~ Mother of God. What's really noticable is that they call this doctrine "sacred" to the point of not really wanting to talk about it. You have to pry to learn they even hold such doctrines. Also, it's totally apart from the bible, just like Marianism. And what's also funny is they can hold this and still complain about the trinity and say "Where in the bible is the mention of trinity". What similarities you all have, and how frustrating to me."


Which may have certain points of comparison. Do Catholics consider Mary to be the wife of God (I do not believe they do - it sounds abhorrently heretical).

The point about Marian doctrine being extra-biblical is valid.

First, it's almost like you are trying to make it sound bad to discredit Mormons. Second, the similarities between false doctrines about highpowered heavenly females are pretty striking and it's no big secret that I have a problem with Marianism. My ultimate, and not too secret, goal is to point out something that might actually make people stop and say, enough is enough, where's my bible.
