[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

My dear, I will leave it to you to judge what is a legitimate religion and what is not.

I do not agree with the teachings of the Mormon Church. But I also do not attack it. I do not ridicule it. I do not make fun of it. It is what it is.

I don’t happen to agree with the Jewish faith either. But I don’t attack that religion either.

I’m a Catholic. I love my Church and practice my faith. I don’t agree with EVERYTHING my Church stands for as well, but I do agree with most of it.

My Church is far from perfect. We have made a lot of mistakes. We are still cleaning up the mess. My archdiocese alone has to grapple with a $660 billion settlement stemming from the homosexual/pedophile priest scandal. It will take us years to recover from that. Church attendance among Catholics is way down nationally and around the world. We have a critical shortage of priests. We have a lot of work to do just repair our own Church and to win back people who were born into our Faith.

I will leave the Mormon bashing to you. We need to build up our own Church and restore its credibility, not to tear down other faiths and churches IMHO.

That is very interesting that you only care about the souls of Catholics.

Thanks for the offer, but the Bible has done it quite well already.

I will leave the Mormon bashing to you.

Did you NOT read your own church's statement on Mormonism in reply #502??

(BTW; it's Mormonism bashing: the hellish things it teaches.)

My Church is far from perfect.

This can be said of EVERY church; but even YOU guys do not go as far as Mormonism has; claiming to be the ONLY 'true' Christians!

You ARE aware of what SLC thinks of YOU folks; right??

  "Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces by the mouth of John the Revelator as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. Any person who shall be so corrupt as to receive a holy ordinance of the Gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent"

Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'whore of Babylon' ...

Even though it's been 27 hours now, and NO Mormons have neither owned up to nor rejected the stuff I posted earlier; I'm just SURE some will NOW appear to give PROOF that this statement has been superceded and apologized for.
