Catholic? That would make sense.
I never get why Catholics defend Mormonism in light of the things Mormons believe about the Catholic church and in light of Catholic teachings about the Mormons (that they are not Christians).
I'll be an equal opportunity offender - other Christians defend mormonism as well. It comes from ignorance of mormon teachings, doctrines and agressive missionary outreach.
I've seen commentary that Catholics were singled out more by mormon missionaries than other Christians because the members didn't generally have a good grasp of their doctrines and theology and could easily become swayed by the "Christian sounding" terms and arguements of mormons.
However, Catholics are no longer alone in failing to understand their theology and doctrines - the rest of Christianity is suffering immensely the same clamity. Learning doctrine and truth in Sunday school has been abandoned because it wasn't exciting as the social gospel message (as well as a dozen other reasons). Sermons have been watered down, etc.
Perhaps instead of condemning those who accurately present the actual doctrines of mormonism here, they can actually LEARN something - compare their church's doctrines to that of mormonism. In the case of the Catholic Church, they are on the record as rejecting mormonism's claim to being Christian. Perhaps those Catholics who seem to be defending mormonism should examine WHY their church rejects mormonism - as well as other Christians who's churches have similar positions.
I fail to see how pointing out that mormons reject the Trinity (for instance) as well as nearly every other distinct Christian doctrine - makes a presenter some how a 'skinhead'. So starlifter - if you are Catholic, why not research why the Catholic church rejects mormonism before you start standing by calling others 'skinheads', etc.

Some Catholics. Some nonCatholic Christians defend Mormons as well. Everyone has a crazy relative somewhere...
