>”The Roman Catholic Church declared Thursday that Mormon converts must be rebaptized, a setback to the Mormon Church’s effort to characterize itself as a Christian denomination.
And who made the Roman Catholic church the judge & jury? This is what I think people mean when they speak of the arrogance of that church.

I used them as an example.
The other Christian churches deal with Mormonism the same, here are links to their statements on requiring Mormons to be be baptized Christian.
The Vatican, the Greek Orthodox, all the rest are in agreement on Mormonism.

Holy Crap Dude are you nuts or just showing how much disdain you have for Catholics?
If someone wants to become Catholic (which is what a convert is doing) who do you think should make the rules?
Catholics make the rules for Catholics. If you want to become one, you follow the rules they make. Same for any religion or club for that matter.
And on Easter. Help me Lord.....
How shrewd of you to trust the word of the LA Times!
