Are Mormons and Catholics the same?

Answer 1

catholics are better than the Mormon cult. the catholic church was established by Jesus Christ and his apostles. starting with the saint peter as a leader in the catholic church. the Mormon on the other hand established itself by a con man named Joseph smith who was a gold digger,mason, and a liar. Joseph smith founder of mormonism created the Book of Mormon which he called another testament of christ. the book of Mormon is said to be more true than the bible lol. you should know that the book of Mormon is false and none of the events,peoples, or places in the book can be proven because Joseph smith created the whole thing is just a work of fiction.the catholic church on the other hand don't use false literature like the Mormons but the true bible .catholics don't believe in separate gods like Mormons but only one . we don't baptize the dead because is just wrong but Mormons do.they have a current prophet which is absurd and just ridiculous.

AnswerThis is a rather emotive question which needs a twofold answer.

Regardng Catholics and Mormons as people, then there are some very pleasant and good Mormons, as well as some very pleasant and good Catholics. However, there are also some very evil and sinister Mormons (e.g. some are racist bigots) just as there are some evil Catholics (e.g. the small number of paedophile priests cited in recent times). So, as people, there is probably little difference. Both groups are children of God and are to be loved, just as God loves us.

However, as to belief, then they are diametrically opposed to one another. The Catholic Church, though having added many unBiblical doctrines over the years, still remains an orthodox denomination within the worldwide Christian Church as begun by Jesus Christ and his disciples (NOT merely Peter as stated above - but Paul, Philip in Africa, Thomas in India, James in Jerusalem and so on). The early Christian Church accepted the trinitarian teachings and divinity of Jesus Christ, as set down by our Lord himself. Over the years, the Christian Church has split into various denominations with different flavours (eg Pentecostals emphasise the gifts of the Spirit, Baptists emphasise baptism by immersion, Catholics emphasise sacramental worship in the mass etc) but each and every Christian Church agrees on the basic tenets of faith as laid down in the ancient Creeds.

The Mormon Church, however, was begun by a charismatic self-confessed charlatan, and its beliefs are so far removed from the Christian Church as to render it no more than a sect that uses the name Jesus Christ in its title but whose beliefs bear little resemblance to those taught by Christ himself. Therefore, rather than being called a Christian denomination, it is considered by most as little more than a sect - some would even call it a cult, albeit a large cult, but a cult, and possibly a sinister cult nevertheless, because it warps the true message of Christianity leading people astray from the true teachings of Christ.

Answer 2

Mormons are COMPLETELY different from Catholics, and it is a separate religion. Catholics believe that Jesus is the son of God, and with the Holy Spirit and God IS God itself, so almost like a three in one, which is also why Catholics make the sign of the cross before and after prayers.

Mormons also believe that Jesus is the son of God, but that the Holy Ghost, God, and Jesus are three separate beings, united in purpose. They believe that the priesthood was taken from the Earth and that it needed to be restored through Joseph Smith, which is why they have modern prophets and apostles.

Answer 3

Great heavens, no. Catholicism was founded by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, in order to bring people to salvation. He founded His Church on St. Peter and his successors, and it will last until the end of time.
