Calling it a “historic occasion,” Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson encouraged Latter-day Saints and Catholics to stand side-by-side in their joint responsibility to protect freedom of worship throughout the world....That message was apparent as the Catholic Bishop, with humor, and touching stories, told how the interconnecting histories of Catholics and Mormons, our common ideals, and many of the issues that have affected both churches have placed their members on common ground....Quoting Cardinal Francis George speaking at Brigham Young University early last year, Bishop Kicanas encouraged members of both religions to come together to be “spiritually united” in their effort to practice their beliefs. His theme was “Our shared history, our shared values, our shared challenges.”

Mormonism is a wolf in sheep's clothing... SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES (John 5:39)

Beware of FALSE prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly they are RAVENING wolves
...
For such are FALSE apostles,
DECEITFUL workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.”

Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:15,  The Apostle Paul, II Corinthians 11:13

We have quite different beliefs, but I’m glad a bishop spoke to LDS about religious freedom. I’m embarrassed by some of the disrespect shown here toward fellow Freepers. We can disagree passionately, but there’s no reason or excuse to treat those who disagree with us in the manner some do on these threads.
