Mormon culture

[pabloSD]

Dear brothers and sisters,

I grew up Catholic, but my parents never taught me about the Gospel nor about our Lord Jesus Christ. Last year, my wife and I were baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were looking for a church that puts a lot of emphasis on the family and on raising faithful children.

In this year since we´ve attended the Mormon church, we’re had many doubts, many questions. I feel that I value the Catholic Church more, and I’ve never bashed it.

We’re feeling the Spirit telling us to come back to the Catholic Church, to our roots. We are very committed to raising our children in the Gospel of Our Lord, and we believe most of the teachings of the Catholic Churcc. So far, we have many questions about the beliefs of the Mormon church.

But, to be honest, I admire the Mormon culture on the family, the faithfulness of its youngsters, and the unity that exists among members.

This is something that, as non-practicing Catholics, we never felt before.

I feel very confused. Do you have any advice?
Thanks!
Pablo

The Mormon culture is admirable, I agree.

But come home! You will be able to find Catholics who think like you do…I maybe one of them , Ha…as I have three months food storage! LOL!

God bless you on your journey home.

I was raised in an LDS home and as I got older I realized that I knew nothing about the Bible, Jesus Christ, salvation, etc. I knew only what was in the BOM. As an adult on my journey to God I have done some pretty extensive studying and comparing. I know that the “eternal family” is a very big pull for many but as we know, there is no marriage in heaven. There is no need for it. The glory of our Lord will be more than enough joy and happiness, we will be complete. We will not forget our families, we will love them more than we do now I would guess, we will be capable of so much more than human ability.

As far as the LDS church as a whole, I think you will agree that it offers more questions than answers. I left for so many reasons, but never getting any answers that made sense was a biggie! I have yet to pose a question to my priest that he can’t A-answer and B-reference it in the Bible.

Bring you and your family home, the Lord misses you.

God Bless

Dear Pablo,

I feel for you. I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints almost two years ago…but here’s the difference.

I have never been more blessed in my life. I believe that in all actuality the Church has answered questions that other churches aren’t able to answer. I know and understand where I came from, why I’m here, and where I came from. I know that we DO have the ability to be with our families forever, and what an amazing concept that is!

I was born and baptized Catholic when I was young, and as I grew up…things in the Catholic church didn’t make sense to me. Things were left unanswered. I felt that although many Catholics were so devout in their religion…that they could talk the talk, but didn’t walk the walk. NOW, for anyone reading this, I don’t want anyone to take me wrong. I have MANY Catholic friends and I respect all religions. I believe that anyone trying to be more Christ like is absolutely amazing. But, things just didn’t make sense.

As a convert, who received a LOT of persecution from a family who was very angry, and friends who didn’t agree…your “questions” are normal. Unfortunately, when we go and make righteous decisions, Satan comes and tries to take us down. Think to yourself, “Why would Satan WANT you to have the blessings that the Gospel of Jesus Christ offers?” If you can remember, Satan does NOT have a body and will not be able to receive Celestial Glory. Meaning, why would he want anyone else to have something he CAN’T?

My dear brother, of all the advice I can give you…I say these things.

1. Pray. You know that our Heavenly Father will hear you.
2. Read your scriptures. The scriptures offer us answers that help us.
3. Visit the temple. In the House of the Lord, we can become closest to the Spirit of the Lord. Pay attention to the feelings you have.
4. Visit your Bishop. They are wonderful, inspired men of God. He will give you advice, and remember, he loves you, he prays for you, and cares for you. You can trust him

In the end, the choice is yours. We have each been given the great gift of agency I wish you good luck on whatever choice you make. Just remember one thing, your Heavenly Father loves you and YOU are quite literally a Child of God!

Hi Pablo,
Welcome…

Former Mormon here. Yes, the LDS has a strong sense of fellowship and community for sure. There are some wonderful aspects to it’s culture.

That being said, however, doesn’t alter the authentic and problematic doctrines and it’s history. It’s has a very disorder view of Christianity, of the very nature of God.

My best advise when after I had left Mormonism and eventually found myself back to my own Catholic roots was prayer. I told God everything, Every doubt, every concern, every skeptical and cynical thought that I had.

Told Him of my hopes, dreams, needs, fears, etc. You name it, if I thought it or felt it, I told Him about it.

I went to Him with my doubts in one hand, my faith in the other, and a very open mind and heart.

He took care of the rest.

My advise again is, take it ALL to Him; Tell Him everything. He will help you sort it out. Don’t trust your soul or your salvation to the advise mere mortals give you. And that includes the warm fuzzies

God Bless.

. Pay attention to the feelings you have.

Caution.

Feelings don’t establish truth nor facts. A person can watch the movie Disney movie “Bambi” and have a strong emotional (ie feelings) reaction.

Truth goes beyond feelings because feelings change. Truth, however, does not.

I see that you are in San Diego. Check out the Immaculata church. That is where I came into the Catholic Church. It is a beautiful church. I still miss it even 16 years later. But, the really great thing about the Catholic Church is that you are at home in any of them.

BTW, I was blessed as a baby in the Mormon church. My aunt and grandma are still Mormon. My mom was raised Mormon, had a falling out over the issue of blacks not being allowed in leadership positions, know that they have changed that since, then she church shopped with us to all different kinds of Protestant churches. She ended up back at the Mormon Church shortly before she passed away. So, I am not ani-Mormon, but do disagree with their teachings. You should have seen how my mom reacted when she found out I was engaged to a …CATHOLIC!!! She had a fit! But, she came around to accepting it.

Check out the RCIA program at the Catholic Church near you. It is not just for converts. It is a great place to get questions answered. Also, they might have a group for people coming back home to the Catholic Church. I know that our local church does, but can’t remember the name of the group. A good way to get the sense of community is to get involved. I teach CCD. My son and daughter alter serve. We go to Stations of the Cross weekly and go to the soup supper afterwards. We even have coffee and doughnuts after mass. Getting involved with the life of the church is a great way to connect. We also have Small Faith Communities where people get together to discuss the upcoming readings for Sunday. And don’t forget the scouts that most churches, Catholics included, have. My daughter, 13, is part of our churches youth group as well. So, there may be more there than you realize.

May God guide you are your journey.

I have never been more blessed in my life. I believe that in all actuality the Church has answered questions that other churches aren’t able to answer. I know and understand where I came from, why I’m here, and where I came from. I know that we DO have the ability to be with our families forever, and what an amazing concept that is!

Just so you know, as Catholics we believe we will be with our families forever, as well, and will have an infinitely deeper relationship with them then than we have now.

I was born and baptized Catholic when I was young, and as I grew up…things in the Catholic church didn’t make sense to me. Things were left unanswered. I felt that although many Catholics were so devout in their religion…that they could talk the talk, but didn’t walk the walk. NOW, for anyone reading this, I don’t want anyone to take me wrong.

Depending on where and how you were catechized, you aren’t alone in your confusion. Sadly, there are Catholics who, through no fault of their own, learn very little about their faith. Ignorance of one’s faith, however, does not mean that faith is false. What is it that didn’t make sense? Also, one cannot judge the truth of a particular faith by those who do not practice it.

If you can remember, Satan does NOT have a body and will not be able to receive Celestial Glory. Meaning, why would he want anyone else to have something he CAN’T?

Do you really believe that the reason Satan “will not be able to receive Celestial Glory” is because he does not have a body? What about His complete rejection and rebellion against God? Nor do the angels in heaven have bodies, but they dwell in the presence of God.

My dear brother, of all the advice I can give you…I say these things.

1. Pray. You know that our Heavenly Father will hear you.
2. Read your scriptures. The scriptures offer us answers that help us.

Or go see your local priest and spend some time in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Learn your Catechism and join a good Catholic Bible study. Go to confession and the Eucharist and, while feelings very often have little to do with truth, I promise you that you will never feel better.

First of all, it’s wonderful that you are feeling the call to come back to the Catholic Church. Many converts to Mormonism have troubling questions that they sweep under the rug in order to live the life. But you seem to sense that there is more to the story than what you were taught by the missionariers. The LDS poster on this thread told you that Satan is behind your doubts. This is a terrbile thing to say, so don’t fall for it. Unfortunately, Mormons are often taught this, but it’s nonsense. It makes you feel bad for having the audacity to question the truth claims of the LDS religion. It’s really a method of control, but most rank and file LDS don’t even realize it.

It’s impossible for many of them to fathom why a member would ever want to leave. For them there are only two possibilities–either the devil is behind it or there is something wrong with YOU, because there certainly cannot be something wrong with the religion itself. I would also point out that in your opening post you specifically said that you feel the Holy Spirit may be leading you back to the Catholic Church. Notice how the LDS poster completely disregarded that. That should tell you something.

Secondly, you need to know that as a cradle Catholic who was not taught the faith by your parents, you were vulnerable to another religion that came along and offered you what looked like something more. If you really didn’t know your Catholic faith to begin with, or were not surrounded by Catholics actually living the faith, the deck was somewhat stacked against you. I’m sure the Mormon missionaries presented you with some ideas that you were probably not equipped to refute from a Catholic perspective. I will admit that many Catholics today are very poorly educated in the faith, and we don’t necessarily serve up the culture on a silver platter like the Mormon Church does. I do admire their organizational skills and commitment, but those things don’t make truth. What matters most are the core doctrinal beliefs.

Thirdly, know now that once you let your fellow Mormons know that you and your wife are thinking about leaving, you will probably be barraged by well-meaning LDS trying to keep you in the fold. Once you do leave, you may lose those friends. Remember, according to them, if you leave it’s because something is wrong with you–not the religion.

But there is great reason for hope, because the Catholic Church does have all those answers you are seeking. You just have to look for yourself. Nobody is going to pressure you to convert, or in your case, to revert. And by the way, there is no other organization on earth more pro-family or more pro-life. And we have the greatest gift of all–the eucharist, which is the real body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. We have the most intimate presence of Jesus Christ available. You just need to avail yourself of it.

Good luck, my friend. And welcome home.

O.k. not sure what happened here but my reply suddenly disappeared along with the post made by the LDS individual. Here is what the LDS individual wrote:

I am an LDS convert. I can still remember my first year in the Church. I was converted at age 38, after having been a lifelong atheist up until then, so I probably had more doubts and questions than you do. Everyone that I know really well (Mormon, Catholic, Protestant, etc.) has had doubts and questions about religion at one time or another.

A couple of things helped me and, 16 years later, I am very, very glad that I stayed for more than a year. (Of course, everyone is different, so all I can say is that these things worked for me.)

First, I noticed a brother who seemed really knowledgeable about Church doctrine and history and, after talking to him privately a couple of times, I asked my bishop if that brother could be a home teacher to me and my wife and I explained to the bishop why that was important. My home teacher had a lot of the answers and he helped me finding other answers. My wife and I also got a very knowledgeable sister assigned as her visiting teacher. In other words, we took advantage of that famous Mormon community.

Now, I visit the FAIR website, at www.fairlds.org , and look on their FAIR Wiki for answers to questions. They even have an “Ask the Apologist” form to submit questions, and I have used it a few times. If I had known about and visited that FAIR website back when I was a new member of the Church, it would have made it easier and faster for me to answer my questions and resolve my doubts.

Second, it was entering the temple that completely answered my questions and erased my doubts. If I could do one thing over again, I would have prepared myself to enter the temple as soon as I possibly could. My bishop showed me the temple recommend interview questions, and suggested that I take the ward’s Temple Preparation class, but I put it off for quite a while. When I did finally go forward, my questions and doubts just got left behind.

Secondly to all others, when a post disappears, it’s not a good idea to repost it.

I would suggest officially resigning your membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Here’s some information on how to do this:

irr.org/mit/exit-letters.html

Please note that the above link is not a Catholic site but it is informative on how to officially leave the Mormon church.

 

[Chris-WA]

pabloSD,

It sounds like you’ve done a lot of soul searching. It’s true that the LDS church offers a lot for families via their culture, but you seem to have figured out that is not the most important thing when it comes to religion. The most important thing is the truth, and as Father Corapi often says, the truth isn’t something, it’s someone–Jesus Christ. If you feel the Holy Spirit leading you back to the Catholic Church, there are many things you can do. First pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit. Second, pay a visit to a parish priest and tell him your story. I’m sure you have Catholic friends in the area that could recommend a good one. Third, start learning the Catholic faith again–really learning it. This website is a great start. I would recommend Rome Sweet Home by Scott Hahn. Excellent book. He is an ex-Protestant minister who fell in love with the Catholic Church by studying the bible. He and his wife tell the story of their journey together. He has also written many excellent other books about the Mass, Mary, the Trinity, etc. He has a way of putting things that really makes it understandable and meaningful.

Just a little extra advice. You should know that leaving the LDS Church can be a very trying experience. This is ususally the testimony of those who do leave. Once you make your intentions known to your LDS ward, you can expect a barrage of well-meaning members trying to keep you from leaving. For most of them, they cannot fathom why a member would leave, and this can cost friendships. So be prepared for that. Just remember, it’s the truth that matters.

Good luck and God bless you and your wife.

Pablo, just wanted to tack on to Holly’s post about resigning your membership if you decide it’s something you want. Sometimes it goes smoothly, sometimes it doesn’t, but know that the instant the LDS bishop whose area you are under gets it, it is official. They may try to make you hoop jump according to their policies but that doesn’t really matter.

Feel free to PM me if you so chose and if you have questions. I went the officially resigning my membership and for me it wasn’t hard at all. But that isn’t always the case…

 

[veilofveronica]

Hi there,
Welcome!

Firstly, I suggest you visit the following webpage:

catholicscomehome.org/, Catholics Come Home. It REALLY helped me on my own journey. I left the Church for a while and recently returned. It was the best decision I ever made!!

There are wonderful things about the LDS that I admire, too. The Catholic Church highly values family life and children, too! In fact, we are one of the few churches that places a very high value on life in the family. If you want to check out the catechism, you can check it out at :scborromeo.org/ccc.htm. It will tell you more.

Pray over your decision. Catholics Come Home has a directory of local parishes. Go and talk to a priest, perhaps. Don’t be afraid, they’ve heard everything and are there for you!!

God Bless you.

I grew up Catholic, but my parents never taught me about the Gospel nor about our Lord Jesus Christ. Last year, my wife and I were baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We were looking for a church that puts a lot of emphasis on the family and on raising faithful children.

In this year since we´ve attended the Mormon church, we’re had many doubts, many questions. I feel that I value the Catholic Church more, and I’ve never bashed it.

But, to be honest, I admire the Mormon culture on the family, the faithfulness of its youngsters, and the unity that exists among members.

This is something that, as non-practicing Catholics, we never felt before.

I feel very confused. Do you have any advice?
Thanks!
Pablo

**The LDS church promotes unity and a sense of community…however there are some many aspects of the religion that aren’t addressed before you are baptised…The Catholic Church does not consider them Christian and does not recognzie the LDS baptism as Christian.

You can raise your family with solid values within the Catholic Church. I am doing just that right now. Their father is a Mormon…or rather now an ex Mormon. He just resigned not long ago.

My suggestion is to literally study all the Mormon Scripture and Doctrine carefully. You will be surprised what you will learn. I am not saying read anti Mormon literature, just read their teachings.

Then think about how you want your family to be in communion with God.

I would be surprised if you didn’t come back to the Catholic Church.
