- Maybe I have started some very interesting and possibly disturbing discussion
- regarding the Mormon Church. All I want to say is that I am a Roman Catholic
- and I do not believe in criticizing other religions. Jesus said, "Love one
- another as I have loved you", and so whether you are Catholic, Mormon, Hindu,
- Islamic, or Protestant, I don't feel that you are more or less of a human being
- than I am. I may or may not agree with some of the things that the Church of
- Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believes or practices. I feel that anyone
- who is faithful to their own beliefs is worthy of respect. I have friends that
- are Mormon, Hindu, and Agnostic, and they respect me for being a good Catholic.
- I, in turn, respect them for their beliefs even though I may not agree with
- them. I am thankful to have friends like these.
