Have they convinced the Roman Catholics? My understanding is that the Roman Catholics hold that the Mormons are heretics.

Good question. Not among the Catholic hierarchy. Unfortunately, at the grassroots level, my experience has been that:
Some FREEPER Catholics have defended Mormonism on FR...despite the reality that Mormonism teaches that the RC church is a completely apostate church with no authority to do anything.

Does the Catholic church accept the validity of the Mormons?

I'm not defending Mormonism, however I not offended that Mormons find me, a Roman Catholic, apostate. I find them apostate too. And Lutherans, and Calvinists, and Baptists, and Eastern Orthodox. So what?

Obviously, Mormons are further from my Catholic faith than others since Mormons don't believe in a Triune God. But it's hardly surprising or troubling to me that Mormons would find me apostate. In fact, their faith is so far from my own that I would hope they would.

That doesn’t surprise me a bit since they’ve no idea what true Christianity is either.

The LDS might teach that, but every time I have seen the whore of Babylon/goddess worshipping idolaters/he who is not to be named on the religion forum drek/Catholic Church is a nonChristian cult garbage about the Catholic Church on FR, it has come from other sorts of Christians, not LDS. Like this thread. So maybe that factors into the dynamic on FR.
