Very astute observations Gamecock! Clearly any claim that there is no similarity between the odd doctrines of the LDS and the odd doctrines of the Catholic Church breaks down when the facts are shown in clear light.

I find it odd that several Catholics have accused you of attempting to start a "flame war" by posting those comparisons, yet none of them have bothered to attempt any specific refutations of the comparisions. In that sense it seems they are the ones attempting to start a flame war by accusing you of attempting to start a flame war.

There's no need to play along. The comparisions are valid and speak for themselves. Thanks for posting them.

BTW you left out question 11:

11. Which of the following has a method whereby people on earth can effectuate the entrance into heaven by those who are currently dead?

A. Roman Catholicism (prayers and pennance)
B. Mormonism (baptism for the dead)
C. A and B

I'm sure there are more.

Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words and contribution!

I think this whole concept would be worthy of a thread of it's own.

I cannot comment on the LDS but I did respond to the Catholic side point by point in 9505. More questions, just ask.

11 is correect as long as it is understood that prayers and other oblations for the dead work only for souls in Purgatory, already headed to heaven.
