need for awareness about the blaspehmy of mormonism !	Maria	Wednesday, January 4, 2012
Question: Dear Bro. Ignatius , Wish you a Blessed NewYear ! Guess you too are grateful , for the Iowa caucus results - that persons in our country recognise what Mormonism is about - the blasphemy of making a creature , out of even God The Father , who they claim was a human ! Would that make all mormon worship , to come under 'idolatry ' ! One good things is , nonCatholics can now make reparation , by turning more to Church teachings on Mary and thus away from the heresy - the Dogmas of Mary as ever Virgin , concieved Immaculate , which all help to magnify who The Lord is ! Mormonism - even the name seem to suggest 'more mony ' such as in love of money , self glorification , worldy success ,becoming gods of own little worlds hereafter - all seem to suggest forms of idolatry ! The littering of our faith by these lies of the latter days hopefully would be used to help more persons , to recognise what can happen when they turn away from The Rock of the true faith ! Hope that Jewish persons and people of Islam too would recognise that this is not Christianity but may be the most virulent form of idolatry ! Would like your thoughts ! Peace !
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), L.Th., D.D. Dear Maria: I am not sure what you are asking. If your asking my thoughts on Mormonism, the Mormons are not Christians. To be Christian one must affirm at minimum the Nicene Creed and be baptized with real water touching the skin performed in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Mormons do not have a valid baptism, thus they are not Christian. Although they use Christian terms like "Trinity", we have to look behind the terms to how they interpret those concepts. For example, Mormons think that Jesus and Satan are brothers. Mormons usually live moral lives and have a strong sense of family, but they are not Christian. The Book of Mormon is a demonically inspired book, just as the Qur'an is inspired by the devil. The angel Moroni who allegedly appeared to Smith was a demon, not an angel from God. The angel that allegedly appeared to Mohammed was not St. Gabriel, but a demon. Joseph Smith and Mohammed are both false prophets God Bless, Bro.

Question:

Dear Bro. Ignatius ,

Wish you a Blessed NewYear !

Guess you too are grateful , for the Iowa caucus results - that persons in our country recognise what Mormonism is about - the blasphemy of making a creature , out of even God The Father , who they claim was a human !

Would that make all mormon worship , to come under 'idolatry ' !

One good things is , nonCatholics can now make reparation , by turning more to Church teachings on Mary and thus away from the heresy - the Dogmas of Mary as ever Virgin , concieved Immaculate , which all help to magnify who The Lord is !

Mormonism - even the name seem to suggest 'more mony ' such as in love of money , self glorification , worldy success ,becoming gods of own little worlds hereafter - all seem to suggest forms of idolatry !

The littering of our faith by these lies of the latter days hopefully would be used to help more persons , to recognise what can happen when they turn away from The Rock of the true faith !

Hope that Jewish persons and people of Islam too would recognise that this is not Christianity but may be the most virulent form of idolatry !

Would like your thoughts !
Peace !
