"LDS Apostle Orson Pratt:"

"Q. Is the Roman Catholic Church the Church of Christ?"
"A. No: for she has no inspired priesthood or officers…"

True. Jesus only recognizes the Church He physically visits and sets up personally. He did not set up the Catholic Church nor has He ever showed Himself to a Pope.

"Q. How long since the Roman Catholic Church lost the authority and ceased to be the Church of Christ?"
"A. She never had authority and never was the Church of Christ…"


True. After the Apostles were killed the people knew there was supposed to be a leader. Since God wasn't giving them a new one, they chose one themselves; Linus I. However, even after Linus claimed to be the leader of the "church", the resurrected Jesus was still talking with His last remaining Apostle, John. Jesus never visited Linus nor has He ever spoken to any Pope.

"Q. Who founded the Roman Catholic Church?"
"A. The Devil, through the medium of Apostates… (The Seer, 1854, 205)"


There are only two churches in the world. Even though there are a million titles and doctrines, only one is God's true Church.

Just one. The rest are set up by the devil to deceive man.

God is 3-in-1.

God's church is 3-in-1: The Catholic church; The Orthodox church; the Protestant church.

Diversity within unity...just as our God is.

So, yes, one.

The Mormon claim is that they are the ONLY legit church on the face of the earth.

And most Mormons besides yourself don't like to point a finger and come right out & say to Protestants, Catholics, & Orthodox: 'The devil established your church.'

(But that's what Lds believe)

And you've proved it by having no qualms in saying that!
