I find those who are so concerned about "outing" the errors of an institution are not, necessarily, secure in their own belief system. Please do not respond to this. You have proven you have a bone to pick, you refuse to read what's written and you read things that do not appear in print.

As a Catholic, do you trust THE CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH? Below is from their official statement on Mormonism not being Christian and Gods as formally endorsed by Pope John II.

"This divinity and man share the same nature and they are substantially equal. God the Father is an exalted man, native of another planet, who has acquired his divine status through a death similar to that of human beings, the necessary way to divinization (cf. TPJS, pp. 345-346). God the Father has relatives and this is explained by the doctrine of infinite regression of the gods who initially were mortal (cf. TPJS, p. 373). God the Father has a wife, the Heavenly Mother, with whom he shares the responsibility of creation. They procreate sons in the spiritual world. Their firstborn is Jesus Christ, equal to all men, who has acquired his divinity in a pre-mortal existence. Even the Holy Spirit is the son of heavenly parents. The Son and the Holy Spirit were procreated after the beginning of the creation of the world known to us (cf. EM, Vol. 2, p. 961)"

"The words Father, Son and Holy Spirit, have for the Mormons a meaning totally different from the Christian meaning. The differences are so great that one cannot even consider that this doctrine is a heresy which emerged out of a false understanding of the Christian doctrine. The teaching of the Mormons has a completely different matrix."

This truly is my last response. My posts have nothing to do with Mormonism being Christian. They have to do with ANYONE offering up the most negative of information to others in order to “disqualify” some other belief system. It’s one reason Catholics on this forum ask to have a place where they, and they alone, can discuss Catholic teaching.

I again apologize for any misunderstanding and for the lack of clarity of my posts.

I’ve been in prayer about the safety of our nation since forever. But with the election of B.O. to stink up the White House, I’ve asked others to pray for the same intention. I do not trust Mr. Romney. It’s not because he’s a Mormon, although knowing now how very important his faith is to him, I could add that to the already heavy pile of **** he believes. I distrust his namby pamby wishy washiness. There’s so little there, except for his ability to organize and understand finances that I can respond to.

My final point is after the last four years, at least I don’t believe he’ll set us up and sell us out to the true evil: Terroristic Islam.

The best way to determine the facts is to clear you mind and your heart. Offer a sincere prayer to Our Lord for guidance on this matter. I get the best response if I read scripture afterwards while waiting for a response. I use King James version, old or new testament. Answers are warm and always welcome.
