You broke up then. Ok. Try to look at it that you had a successful dating experience. You learned about each other, and about yourselves. Dating is meant to be a time to look for a future life partner. She wasn’t a good fit for you, or you her, so it’s smart to move on.
 
Nothing wrong with dating non-Catholic Christians. Who knows, you may find a keeper like I did, or find one who converts to Catholicism as happened with my parents. However, I wouldn’t date a Mormon. In addition to being non-Christian and polytheistic, their faith is intertwined with their whole family life in a way that really discourages and burdens them from having relationships outside the LDS group.
 
She put this up on her Facebook wall after we parted.

You broke up. How about you stop the immature posting back and forth and either just block her or be the bigger person and ignore her.

Don’t forget to pray for her as well.

Please, do not stoop to this sort of public dirty laundry. Wish her well, pray for her (as Christ said, pray privately as if you were going into your closet to pray). Be mature and kind.
 
Please…you may have good intentions, but it’s best not to maintain contact, even negative contact, as most likely, she was coached by someone in her Church, since early in your friendship. She knew, probably almost from the beginning, that you weren’t likely to end up together. Ignoring her is the best way to deal with her now.

Mormons take defection from their Church very seriously…she stands to lose all of her family and friends. Don’t think of how great it would be to have family and friends as close as those Mormons do, or that you may have seen, or heard about…think about how she’d be afraid of losing such relationships! I know I sound harsh, but there are many documented examples of such relationships turning out false. Think about practicing your own faith, and, when you’re ready, see if you can find a woman who believes what you do, and can be honest with you.

Take care, and God Bless!!!

The meme she posted seems positive, I would have “hearted” it and moved on. You parted because you BOTH believe in yourselves and your own faiths.
 
Actually I didn’t catch that this was a quote from a Mormon leader. Still, I would have posted a positive quote from a catholic leader if I reacted to it at all.

They teach that the Catholic church is an abomination and that our ministers are minions of Satan. Don’t believe it? Just look up or Google Joseph Smith History 1:19

That’s not actually what the referenced verse says, It says:

I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.”

This analysis notes that dozens of creeds had been brought into existence by the time Joseph Smith came on the scene. So, no the Catholic Church isn’t called an abomination, and its ministers are not believed to be minions of Satan.

I hope this helps…
 
The part that is quoted in Mormon scripture definitely says that all creeds were an abomination. I don’t know whether this article is ‘spin’ or actual research (My guess:A mixture of both), but a YouTube video, probably no longer posted, posted of a Temple Square tour
,where some woman missionaries were asked about Joseph’s first vision. They told the story faithfully, up to the point where Joseph asked what church he should join. In this instance, they (God and Jesus)answered that the churches were all good, but didn’t have the full gospel! At least one long-time Mormon was shocked! This was from at least five years ago, so missionaries have been told to soften the blow, so it seems, and even scholars are working on it! As I said before, lies seldom work, anymore, so there’s a lot of spin going on. I have no official statement, but many have said that the lds church is losing a lot of members…at least in the U.S.
 
The Church requires one to get permission from the Bishop in order to marry a non-Christian. You would meet with your Pastor, he will meet with both of you and then make his recommend to the Bishop.
