OK.

I read the whole article again. Slowly.

Yes, the author is Catholic. Says so right there in the fourth paragraph.

The sixth paragraph is the author's imagining of how a Jew would react to visiting a Christian church.

the Mormons themselves consider the whole of the Holy Bible (Old and New Testaments) as an "Old" Testament. The Book of Mormon bills itself as "Another Testament of Jesus Christ".

Yes. All makes sense, now.

FWIW, there is a fad in some circles of using the terms "Hebrew Scriptures" and "Christian Scriptures" in place of "Old Testament" and "New Testament".

BTW, I agree with the mormon 'catechist' on one thing:

I came up to talk to the teacher about one item after class. He had called the Nicene Creed incomprehensible, so I told him, “Look, I’m Catholic. I understand if you don’t agree with it, since you don’t believe in the Trinity and all that, but please tell me what is so hard to understand about the Nicene Creed?” We struck up a conversation. He admitted, “Either we’re right or you guys are.” Then he thought about that and added, “Please don’t quote me by name.”

Christianity and mormonism are contradictory. They cannot both be right.

The Nicene Creed does not equal Christianity, only a majority view. Mormon's rejection of the Nicene Creed is hardly a unique position.

The original Anabaptist movement of Jan Hus, who predated Martin Luther by nearly a century, neither subscribed to nor specifically rejected the Nicene Creed.

They did say that Gospel truth could not be determined by a majority vote, be it the Nicene Creed in its era nor the gay marriage controversy today. I am quite sympathetic to this view, especially after seeing so many mainstream Christian denominations neutered and even co-opted by the Left.

I once attended a Foursquare Baptist congregation which considered mainstream Baptists sellouts for subscribing to the Nicene creed. Nice people, but lets just say that while I agreed with them on 95% of doctrinal issues, I was considered an apostate due to the 5%, sort of like the Libertarian Party.

He admitted, “Either we’re right or you guys are.” Interesting. I heard a Catholic (priest or seminarian, I think) who had converted from Mormonism giving an apologetics talk on Catholic Radio. He used the exact phrase "either the Catholic Church is true or the Mormon Church is." And since the Mormon Church is false, he was led to believe the Catholic Church was true. It was fascinating stuff. He traced the history of Mormonism and their tie-in with the Masons.

Sorry, I just assumed he was Jewish from the use of “Hebrew Scriptures” and the way he disliked the term “Old Testament”.
