You’re right. All this back-biting is counter-productive.

Despite the rigidity of Catholic teaching, we really don’t spend time as a group critiquing other people’s religions. Individual priests may counsel individual parishioners who might be considering leaving the Church for another religion, but I have never heard a priest speak from the pulpit in a way that is critical of other religions. Unfortunately, that seems to be something other churches do. Weird.

In my experience, the Christians on HA threads who speak so virulently against Mormons usually have it in for Catholics as well, so I think we’re natural allies.

Cheers.

You know it was a Catholic Bishop in San Fran (formerly in SL) who called the President of our Church and asked for help in passing prop 8.
And you’re right. We don’t know what is coming and we need to be brothers in arms instead of this rediculous calling each other out.

Thanks Y-not.

You’re welcome.

Catholics and Mormons need to stick together on Hot Air.

Have a great day.

Having said that, Christians believe LDS is a cult (since it completely changes what Christ says in our Bible), and that’s not going to change.

Catholics are Christians. We do not consider LDS a cult.

Squiggy: You are wayyyyyyy misinformed. And I guess you don’t know that we do share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I don’t know what hat your talking about, but I think that is the first time I’ve heard that little gem. My grandson just left for a mission to Monte Video, Uruguay. He will be in a training center in Argentina for 2 months to learn Spanish and then will be one of the army of white shirted young men who will be trying to share it, politely. His parents pay for the entire 2 years. He will be living in austere circumstances and he is a wonderful 19 year old.
Gotta go to work, would be happy to write you later, squiggy.

Thanks for the link to the pics…you’re right, it doesn’t at all look like the Phelps crowd, just another group of pathetic whack jobs, imo. Honestly…what is it these drama junkies hope to accomplish???

Go home people and mind your own business.

This doesn’t seem like a giant protest. Looks to me like just one of the Mormons (say the boy about twelve) could smack-em-up and make them go away. Wouldn’t whoever did that be able to get forgiveness? It would solve so many of your problems.

Having said that, Christians believe LDS is a cult (since it completely changes what Christ says in our Bible), and that’s not going to change. You can gripe and complain till the cows learn to read Shakespeare, but that’s the way that is going to be.

I’d say your biggest PR problem is that so many of your beliefs have become public knowledge. (Now that we know all about that Xenu guy, oh wait, that’s not you people, that’s the cult of Scientology). Oh, yes. You Mormons get to be your own god with your own planet. And the revelations about this came out of a hat. This is just way too complicated for us simple folk. We always figured pulling a rabbit (or a religion) out of hat was a trick.

One other thing, you people have changed, calling yourself “Christians”. I don’t know how old you are, but I remember in the early seventies being approached by some proselytizing Mormons (you people used to do that, like the Jehovah’s witnesses do), and being told in no uncertain terms “WE ARE NOT CHRISTIANS! WE ARE MORMONS!” I don’t know when that changed, but I’ve heard it was when your elders decided blacks could go to Heaven too. I don’t understand how your core beliefs could change. Or am I just misinformed? (again)

If anyone is still alive out there, here is a site with pix which show the signs and don’t seem to be the phelp’s group.

Funny! (666 that is)
Did you look at any of the pix they referred to? You could maybe see if you recognize any of them.
I don’t think they belong to that one church who protests at soldier’s funerals if that’s the Fred Phelps group. Phelps group did come to a funeral in SL but they aren’t the ones who come to the conference.
It’s just that you get more bees from honey than from screaming etc. They even had pictures of aborted babies, and so that tells me that they know nothing about Mormons, since Mormons don’t believe in abortion.

From your link, and the senior poster “Finnian”’s observation, it does in fact seem like the protesters are Fred Phelps “God Hates_____ (fill in the blank)”..wacko family members and fringe nut balls.
Did you notice any of the “God Hates” this or that telltale signs of them?
