“You defend mormonISM and call Christians heretics”

I defend the Mormons as a religious group to be tolerated in the public and political sphere as all others are in the US.

I call SOME Christians heretics, in the eyes of the Catholic church, as they have always been held to be.

Christians - superset
Catholic - subset
heretics = Christians - Catholics

My point, and I really don’t understand why this is so hard to put across, is that if we, Catholics, Protestants, etc., can get along, EVEN with this history of conflict (religious wars and the burning of heretics), why must we make an exception for Mormons ?

“You pimp Romney and call people who do not support him anti-mormon”

I don’t support Romney. I just object to the extreme speech against him, it does none of us any good. It certainly doesn’t even help keep him from the nomination, as his most bitter opponents will end up sounding like cranks.

SOME opponents of Romney do so because he is a Mormon (and there are many posts here in evidence), as for whatever reasons they are prejudiced against Mormons. This also is very unsound, as it is both illogical and imprudent.

“You say you will support Romney over BHO even thought they are the same.”

They are not the same. This is more of the poisonous hyperbole that has been going around that is very unhealthy for all of us. We have an election to win, an election that is critical beyond measure, the consequences of failing in this case will be disastrous. This talk does not help.

“You say you are Catholic yet...”

And what have I said that is not Catholic ?

You keep fighting to spread the false claim that Mormons are Christian, you insult and mock your church and Pope with lies.

You evade and ignore direct Catholic rebuttals to your anti-Catholic postings in service to pushing the lie that Mormonism is Christian, and accepted by the Catholic church as such.
