“No, they’re probably full of love by trying to minister to Mormons. Victims always think they’re being bashed by haters and that’s not true. Sometimes they are trying to speak truth to people and it’s not wanted or accepted. So they’re called haters instead. Sigh.”


Among the description of how believing Catholics are to deal with Mormons is this:

“”We don’t bash your church, why bash ours?””

“Somehow, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have been persuaded by their leaders that they have always been on the receiving end of uncharitable comments and unjust accusations. From the time Joseph Smith began his work in 1820, the Mormon church has gloried in the “fact” that it is a persecuted people. For them, this is a sure sign that it is the Lord’s true church; all opposition comes ultimately from Satan. So, if you do offer a question or a criticism, be prepared for this reaction.

Many Mormons, including their hierarchy, look upon any criticism—regardless of how honest and sincere—as perverseness inspired by the Evil One. But these same individuals ignore their own past (and present) attacks on Christian churches. You might like to point out a few of these to those Mormons who say their church “never attacks other churches.”

Seriously, when you go to Catholic.com, you are quoting one man’s opinion.

Karl Keating is a great guy and some of the things on his site are wonderful but some are lacking. He is an Apologist and what you are quoting from there is a page on how to deal with Mormons who try to force their beliefs on a Catholic. Not for us to run to a Mormon, but rather how to get out of the situation.

For all real documents of the Catholic Church you’ll want to go to the English language portion of the Vatican Website or the offical newspaper Zenit.
