There was no indication that this post was for “caucus eyes only.”
I am frankly wearying a bit of the passive aggressive LDS nonsense. As delightful as I have found many Mormon men to be (the gals are a different story) and as impressive in secular matters as the resumes of high visibility accomplished Mormons appear to me, I just cannot get by the ancient-Hebrews-in-the-New-World fantasy and the conclusion that Smith was nothing more than an early 19th century self-promoter and a charlatan, albeit talented one, apparently, who felt himself safe from refutation in his time.

You can be a great guy, and stand with me, a devout convert to the Catholic Church in the CS Lewis tradition, in all sorts of good causes. But the LDS “secret” dogma which is all refutable tosh really is off-putting.

These LDS posts keep turning up, and I wish they could be kept out of sight on our beloved freerepublic, because I really do do not want to wade into the theological swamp constantly. Like small children, I would rather just love my Mormon brothers, but not hear from them about religious matters.

I see. How do you feel about the constant daily attacks upon the LDS faith on this board? Those ok?

Uh...You'd best check with ROME again, for I don't THINK the POPE considers them to be, ahem, Brothers.
