the best way to show something to is to provide proof otherwise - as your opinion is like armpits - everyone has a couple of them. Documentation is abundant from mormon prophets and apostles regarding the mormon god's view of catholism, through to including former apostle McConkie. Those views have not been publically repudiated by lds inc to my knowledge.

It is easy to cry that one is distorting the truth. It is quite another to show otherwise. Are you up for that resty?

“I was answered that I must join none of them (Christian churches), for they were all wrong…their creeds were an abomination in [God’s] sight; that those professors were all corrupt” (Joseph Smith—History 1:19).

“All the priests who adhere to the sectarian [Christian] religions of the day with all their followers, without one exception, receive their portion with the devil and his angels” (The Elders Journal, Joseph Smith, ed. Vol. 1, n. 4, 60).

Joseph Smith the savior of the Mormons

“He (Joseph Smith) is the man through whom God has spoken... yet I would not like to call him a savior, though in a certain capacity he was a god to us, and is to the nations of the earth, and will continue to be.”
- Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 8:321

“You call us fools; but the day will be, gentlemen and ladies, whether you belong to this Church or not, when you will prize brother Joseph Smith as the Prophet of the Living God, and look upon him as a god...”
- Herber C. Kimball, Journal of Discourses 5:88

“If we get our salvation, we shall have to pass by him [Joseph Smith]; if we enter our glory, it will be through the authority he has received. We cannot get around him [Joseph Smith]”
- (as quoted in 1988 Melchizedek Priesthood Study Guide, p. 142)

There is “no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth...no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God”
- Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p.190

Oh Resty, you are too funny. You call bratty names and avoid answering every direct question, and then you pretend to take the high road. Go polish your halo, and sing “Hail to Joseph Smith” if you can’t stay in a real theological discussion here.
