I don’t know why Mormons are going around invading Catholic Churches, mocking our religion, cutting the head off of our statues. Don’t they have anything else to do with their lives? Why are they not taught to respect private property?
Mormons are not invading catholic churches, mocking the religion and cutting the head off your statues. It was an isolated incident. However, if a rather drunken catholic is caught peeing on the outside wall of a mormon chapel, I will be sure to mention it on this forum and equate all catholics peeing on lds chapels.

Good attempt at generalizations. 🙂
 
before a catholic gets drunk, he should put on a diaper. that way instead if he cant control his bladder, he can surely go and change the diaper on the mormon altar. thats ok. go and ask any mormon.

so what was the topic of the thread again?
 
actually, im going to go ahead and apologize beforehand for that remark. that was out of taste. im sorry for any offense that i have caused to the mormons reading my last post. i typed irresponsibly, and that is counter productinve to responsible discussion.

I was just trying to respond to the poster who made glaring generalizations about all mormons. It was an isolated incident and the lds church apologized for the incident and the young men will experience church discipline and also perhaps the law of the land.
 
Yeah, it explains that for two years the LDS church has obfuscated and covered up the crime. Only now, after it becomes a national news story, have the brethren been forced to address it.
Personally, I don’t think every incident makes it up to them or even to the Mission President. If they don’t know it happened then they can’t address it.

Apparently, some Mormons are now making up false stoires about Catholics being drunk around Mormon chapels.
Who witnessed anything like this or did you just make up this story as a smokescreen to cover what was reported in the news concerning the vandalising of a Catholic Church by Mormon missionaries?

Right, right.

For Catholics and others who aren’t familiar with this process, the missionary experience is one of total and complete exposure.

LDS missionaries are never alone longer than a couple of minutes (the time it takes to defecate). Your companion and various other missionaries are in plain sight every other second of every day during the entire two year course of your mission.

The result is that you have a permanent snitch and braggart attached at the waist.

The logical conclusion to this practice is easily understood. There is NOTHING that an LDS missionary does, good or bad, that doesn’t become knowledge throughout the mission almost immediately. Mormon teenagers are as gossipy as a gaggle of old ladies, and they’re constantly trying to curry favor with local leaders, the APs and the MP at all times.

I have no doubt at all that this incident was boasted of, reported and talked about by Mormons far and wide almost immediately after it happened, and that it was covered up by all the local saints who laughed up their sleeves.

No vandalism, but a candid admission of a corrupt and deceptive mission president here. Listen and laugh.
 
As a Catholic, I am much less concerned with the physical vandalism (breaking heads off saint statues) than I am with the mockery and desecration evident in the photos.

So get over the “allegedly”. They “allegedly damaged the shrine” SO WHAT?

But I can see their photos with MY OWN EYES THAT THEY ARE MOCKING MY CHURCH, MY BELIEFS, AND WHO I AM. I don’t NEED a court to CONVICT them of that before I can say that they did it.

Or SUE ME already.
Well I served as a Missionary (ironically where this happened and knew those guys) and have to say that I’m not sueing everyone that made a mockery of my Church or beliefs. I was spit on, had beer bottles thrown at me, called words starting with “F” and ending with “aggot” and given the finger many different times. Too bad that I don’t have photos of that “allegedly” happening to me because that would make a great court case. I don’t know what denomination they were, but does it matter?

Do you honestly think that this guy busted that statue off with his bare hands and said hey take a picture? Give me a break…

Incase you didn’t realize, we all have something in common. Our Love for Christ. Different beliefs, but same Brother. I’m going out on a limb and saying that that young man did not break the head off the statue, but if needs be he can pay for it. Criminal charges are not necessary in this. The people of that congregation are quoting as saying turn the other cheek, but people still need to be held accountable and be charged. Ya, that sure is turning the other cheek, much like the time I turned the other cheek to wipe it off because it was covered in plegm from the nice (probably) Church going man that decided he’d had enough of me walking on the sidewalk in my shirt, tie and black nametag with our Lord’s name on it…

Good accusations LaMar but unfortunately no proof, just ill will toward the lds faith. I think LaMar you will need to come clean about your antimormonism. I have seen it on the exmormon boards and I am sure that you hang out on those boards. Your posts have a tinge of disrespect and mocking and what is sad is that it is taking place on this thread.

What antimormon boards do you hang out on? 🤷

Trust me the ‘catholics’ on this thread do not want to hear or read about it. They seem to be intent on belittling and mocking the lds church as their own sign of disrespect on a thread about disrespect.

Why, all of them, of course. It’s a big conspiracy between the Catholics, the anti-Mormons, Satan, and me.
 
and once again…you just don’t get it do you? forget about the statue. the desecration of the altar is the real kicker. of course the response by the LDS is almost as offensive. so now YOU are the victim here? tell us which official representatives of the Catholic church assaulted you? whoever performed the acts you described was wrong to do so. no excuses. if they were priests or religious or any other “official” type catholic then we need to know so that action can be taken. forgiveness is great but if we don’t police ourselves then everyone suffers.

now, having said that, what do you hope to accomplish in coming HERE to claim that you and the LDS church are the bigger victims in this case?

Do you know for a fact that he didn’t break the statue? Because if he did, then that is vandalism, and it is a criminal act.

Not turning the other cheek would be calling for vengeance. If the kid broke the statue, he also broke the law, and he needs to be held accountable. That is not vengeance, it is common sense.
much like the time I turned the other cheek to wipe it off because it was covered in plegm from the nice (probably) Church going man that decided he’d had enough of me walking on the sidewalk in my shirt, tie and black nametag with our Lord’s name on it…
I’m sorry you were spit on, that is horrible.

I see no conspiracy just insincerity. Many of your posts are generalizations without the needed evidence. You also come across as bitter and sour toward the lds faith. You just need to come clean about your intentions for posting.

You certainly have no respect for those things lds. 🙂

Well, the boys themselves put the pictures up. Underneath the photo of the headless icon there was a caption that read “[so and so] beheaded a Saint!”

In fairness, the way the head broke off, I think it might have been technically accidental. I would guess (and mind you, this is only a guess) that the “elder” in question probably grabbed the statue by the chin and attempted to tip it over.

If it was poured concrete, there was no rebar connecting the head to the body, which would make the neck a serious weak point. If it was granite, it might have had a seam. I can’t see the statue clearly enough to tell what it was made of.

Yep. I agree with this part. Thanks for posting.

I am still trying to figure just how the head hadn’t fallen off the statue for nearly two years. There must have been great weather for those two years. I would think that the head would have eventually fell to the ground and been noticed by catholics going to the shrine.

I just can’t understand it. Also, for these young men to do this kind of thing without fear of being seen by catholics going to the shrine and on the shrine grounds takes a lot of Hutzpah.

Nobody said it wasn’t noticed. It could have been noticed the very next day for all we know. But that doesn’t mean whoever noticed it could have known how it happened or why. Two years later, someone finds photos on the internet of a nice, clean-cut Mormon missionary with the statue’s head in his hands, and the mystery is solved.

I have far more respect than you do. I see the church as fallible and I am taking this (admittedly anonymous) opportunity to call the church to repentance. At the same time, I can cop to a bit of the collective guilt we all share when our representatives behave badly, and express some sincere regret.

It hasn’t taken me long to realize that you are viewed as a complete joke here, on this forum. Nobody takes you seriously here, just as no Mormon takes you seriously either. Your irrelevance is its own reward. Enjoy it.

But at least I have been honest with who I am. Your posts are disrespectful toward not only the mormon church but toward mormons in general when you generalize conspiracy theories among the lds and its missionaries. You show no ‘collective guilt’ at all but you do show a tinge of bitterness toward the lds and their religion.

As for myself, I take a middle ground. I do not defend the lds faith unless people show disrespect for it and let loose false accusations and interpretations. I seek no respect but I do appreciate christian kindness and understanding.

As one women on NPR stated: religions are like lampshades, all are different and yet, they contain a similiar light inside.

LOL!!! I can’t Believe YOU said that! yes we have a winner. We see you worshipping JS on the MADB as well. You seem to be okay with the anticatholics there. what about your own intentions for posting? when are you coming clean?
