Today, millions revere Joseph Smith Jr. (1805-1844) as the prophet of the "restoration" of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Early American Christianity sought to de-legitimize Catholicism for its monarchical appearance. Many taught the bishops of the Catholic church had lost authority following the deaths of the Apostles. JS claimed at a young age to have beheld many visions of angels and deity and to have been the instrument of God to restore Christ's true church to the earth. On 6 April 1830, JS and five others officially organized the Church of Christ. Since then millions have accepted his claims to revelation and reception of holy priesthood authority. Many churches have sprung up as a result of his Latter-day Saint movement such as: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church) based in Utah; the Community of Christ based in Independence, MO; and the Remnant Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also based in Independence, just to name a few.
