Of course, the Pope’s current statement makes the questioning of JFK’s catholicism valid. But let’s be clear, Mormons claim in effect that their religion predates Christianity (both Catholic and protestant), so why they want to call themselves Christians is beyond me.

Don't you believe that Christ is God? Don't you believe that Christ is the God of Abraham? I am sorry, you must not believe that the true religion existed until Christ was born, that is interesting.

“Don’t you believe that Christ is God? Don’t you believe that Christ is the God of Abraham? I am sorry, you must not believe that the true religion existed until Christ was born, that is interesting.”

I didn’t say anything of the sort. You miss the point entirely, as is so often your way. If Mormons claim to be the true faith and the book of Mormon predates Christ, then what the Mormons are actually saying (if they are indeed restoring a true church) is that everyone else is a failed Mormon.

I know that is hard to understand, and that is my point - Mormonism thrives on the confusion of terms. But don’t get mad at me, get mad at the apologists.
