"produce the product"
A Catholic music director was let go,
How can the choirmaster fulfill this role if he or she is not Catholic?
clearly, the incumbent was not doing the job desired
In all my years of studying various “religions”, I have almost always found that the LDS church has its origins in Freemasonry which in itself has its roots in Luciferianism. What have others found through experience, research or otherwise?
If a diocese doesn't forbid turning over baptismal records to any Mormon-affiliated company or institution for what they claim are the purposes of genealogical research and archives, well, the diocese needs to forbid it.A lot of non-Mormons ("Gentiles") aren't aware that they practice posthumous baptism
The Catholic Church does not regard their baptism as a valid sacrament, but whether their religion constitutes a heretical form of Christianity or a non-Christian religion might still be an open question. They believe that Jesus Christ was God incarnate, who died for our sins and rose again, which is not a non-Christian doctrine
We believe that Jesus was fully human in that He was subject to sickness, to pain and to temptation. We believe Jesus is the Son of God the Father and as such inherited powers of godhood and divinity from His Father, including immortality, the capacity to live forever.
It's not Catholic verbiage, but I would need a theologian to explain to me how this differs essentially from the formulation, "eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made." I certainly don't mean to play the role of an apologist for Mormonism, but I think it's important as a matter of truth, charity, and justice that we not misrepresent their beliefs. The same document you linked says, "We believe Jesus suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane and that He submitted to a cruel death on the cross of Calvary, all as a willing sacrifice, a substitutionary atonement for our sins.... The atonement of Christ is infinite and eternal in scope.... Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God."Jesus is the Son of God the Father and as such inherited powers of godhood and divinity from His Father, including immortality, the capacity to live forever.
As is easily seen, to the similarity of titles there does not correspond in any way a doctrinal content which can lead to the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. 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. We do not find ourselves, therefore, before the case of the validity of Baptism administered by heretics, affirmed already from the first Christian centuries, nor of Baptism conferred in non-Catholic ecclesial communities, as noted in Canon 869 §2.
