Why do I have to answer your questions? The answer is “no”. I drew an analogy between critics of what early Mormons wrote, with the writings of Martin Luther. The attempt was to show you that one can easily criticize any religion, not necessarily meaning that the modern day practitioners are visited by the sins of their forbearers.

IF we are to hold everyone accountable for the earliest writings of their religion, I respectfully suggest that a Jew, Catholic or Mormon can find serious flaws in the writings and behavior of Martin Luther. It interests me to do so as little as it interests me to worry about intense dissections of Mormon writings.

In summary, I reject the proposition that Mormonism represents a serious threat to traditional Christian religions. Mormons are largely a non factor in America and I see little concern about Mormonism among most traditional Christians.

Further, it seems to me that on a thread that sought to educate me as a Roman Catholic, I am not encountering other RC’s however those not of my religion are lecturing me regarding a non existent threat to Catholicism.

You said: trust me the people all wound up about Mormons are not luvin Jews.

I asked: Are you saying that people who are exposing mormonISM are anti-Semitic?

It, really is simple to answer.

As a side note, I do not understand why you appear to be so focused on Luther.

Joseph Smith created a new religion according to Catholics.

It is not a Christian religion, but it’s own unique religion is how they describe it, those aren’t “early writings” or a Mormon disagreeing with how a Mormon church may have strayed over 1300 or 1400 years, they are the religion of Mormonism, and it is not comparable to theological arguments among Christians, such as Father Luther and his church.

The Catholic church recognizes the baptism of a Lutheran or a Methodist because they are all Christians.

This entire Mormon thing is only about 180 years old and as the Pope told us, is not a Christian religion, or a branch of Christianity.

You are Catholic?

Catholics are often defending Mitt Romney and Mormonism here. Although many of the most passionate pro-Mormon Catholics got banned over their overly aggressive defense of Mitt Romney.

In return Mormonism converts many Catholics away from Christianity, supposedly Catholics are among their easiest prey.
