Confronting the
New Mormon Threat
Why Catholics are easy targets
for Mormon evangelists—
and what we can do to keep Catholics Catholic.
What Mormons Really Believe
There are many problems with the Mormon religion. In fact, the problems are so numerous, we had to write a special report just to explain and refute them all.
Also as I mentioned before
“Mormons: from a Catholic Perspective” by Jimmy Akin
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints now claims over 12 million members world wide. This booklet describes Mormon-ism’s core beliefs and whether they can truly claim to be Christian. Fundamental differences between the Catholic Faith and that held by Mormons are explored and advice given on how to engage in sincere and respectful dialogue with missionaries one can meet in many places across the world.
It’s this powerful, eye-opening report that we need to get into the hands of as many Catholics as possible—as quickly as possible—before the Mormon juggernaut picks up more speed and takes in tens of thousands of our fellow Catholics.
This report was written by our director of apologetics, Jimmy Akin, who has done a masterful job of clearly explaining Mormon beliefs … making sense of them … and then charitably refuting them, one by one.
Let me give you a glimpse of what you’ll learn when you read this breakthrough report—and you’ll see why it’s “must reading” for every Catholic in America today …
• Do Mormons really believe they can become the “god” of their own planet?
• Why Mormons claim the Catholic Church is a “church of Satan”—teaching a false gospel.
• Why Mormons believe God the Father was once a human—and became the “god” of planet Earth.
• Do Mormons believe there is more than one “God”?
• How the Book of Mormon itself contradicts core Mormon beliefs and practices.
• What Mormons believe about the Eucharist—it’s not what Catholics believe.
• What goes on inside their mysterious, no-visitors-allowed temples.
• Does the Mormon church approve of divorce and abortion? (The answer will disappoint pro-lifers!)
• Who are the leaders of the Mormon church?
• Do Mormons believe black people are “cursed”?
• Is Mormon baptism valid? What Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, said.
Who are the leaders of the Mormon church?
• Do Mormons believe black people are “cursed”?
• Is Mormon baptism valid? What Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, said.
• How Mormons try to convert Catholics to Mormonism—successfully.
• How did Joseph Smith translate the “golden plates”—and why did no one else ever get to see them?
• Mormon doctrines have changed—often.
• Did Joseph Smith develop his teaching on polygamy only after betraying his wife?
• Joseph Smith: the “martyr” who died in a gunfight, shooting at people.
• Mormons dropped some of their unpopular teachings in order to clean up their public image and appeal to more Americans.
• Joseph Smith’s background before he started the Mormon church—and how this affect his credibility
• The psychological and emotional elements that attract people to Mormonism.
All this—and much more—is covered in Jimmy Akin’s new special report. We will send it to you with our compliments when you help us with our project to distribute it nationwide.
You see, the new Mormon threat is more serious than ever before.
With all the talk in the media about Mormonism, more and more people are curious about Mormonism and are visiting Mormon web sites.
But these web sites are deceptive. They do not explain the true beliefs of Mormonism. They try to convince readers that Mormonism is a Christian faith—in fact, the true Christian faith!
As one Mormon web site put it, “Mormonism is the religion most consistent with biblical Christianity. We do not apologize for our beliefs. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the only true Christian church on the face of the earth.”
The problem is … people fall for it—especially Catholics.
In fact, Mormons count Catholics as their main target.
Over half of the current converts to Mormonism are Catholics.
Mormons target Catholics who don’t know their faith.
Sadly, that’s the majority of our fellow Catholics. They’ve been nearly defenseless against Mormon propaganda.
Until now.
With our new special report on Mormonism, we can “inoculate” Catholics from the half-truths and skewed history presented by Mormon missionaries.
By getting this report into the hands of Catholics all across America, we can bolster the faith of Catholics and keep them from leaving the Church.
But an ambitious project like this requires significant funds from generous supporters like you.
We are dependent on you for financial support.
That’s why I’m hoping you’ll support Catholic Answers’ new project to expose the errors of Mormonism.
We want to give parish priests the materials they need so they can educate their parishioners—and can keep their Catholics Catholic.
