Actually, having lived in Italy, even spent a good deal of time in Rome, this is completely untrue. No more effort is directed towards Catholicism than is directed towards any other faith. That is a very odd statement.

As for the Trinity, most of my academic study has been in the Near East. The oddity in the Trinity that most never study is the complex reliance on Greek philosophical thought, instead of the thought inherent in Judaism, to form Christian theologies. For a theology that is Near Eastern in origin (Christian), Christianity did not turn to the philosophy and social mores of the Near East, but to Plato. This is odd to some of us.
Sorry, but you’ve just provided an example of Mormons targeting Catholic doctrine with anti-Catholic propaganda!
 
Purposely removing Catholics from their faith is the GOAL of Mormons. If they wiped out the Catholic faith all together, they would celebrate their victory.
I learn such interesting things about myself when I come here. I never knew.
 
I’m going back in my head over recent Baptisms in the past 5 years, and I know of no one who was baptized after 2 lessons. If I had to average, I would say maybe 2-3 months of investigation was an average? That would be throwing out the outliers like someone who attended for 2 years before being baptized.
Read what she said. People are asked to be baptized at the 2nd lesson.
 
Do you tell them everything about Mormon beliefs before they are baptized? I knew a woman who converted from the Catholic Church to Mormonism. She was happy with her new church. But when I told her what Mormons really believe, she was shocked. She had never heard any of this before. In fact, after thinking about it, she admitted that Mormon beliefs sounded, to quote her, “Satanic”.

Mormon beliefs are a guarded secret until the converts are hooked. Why are temple rituals a secret? Don’t they take an oath of suicide if they should ever disclose what happens in the temple? That, my friend, is the epitome of a false religion.
You’ve never studied Qumran have you?

The slitting of throats and disembowelled bit was thrown out in 90s but temples are supposedly secret (it’s actually on internet). No they don’t tell everything. Some things are specifically reserved for after baptism. I was baptised a week after I met the missionaries.

That is not necessarily true. This is the conclusion based on a decade of academic research that had nothing at all to do with Catholicism at all. I am not sure how studying early Christianity and Semitic philosophy could be considered anti-Catholic.

What is the Catholic POV/response to your propaganda?

Sorry your anecdotes do not over ride published church policy, which is to ask people to be baptized after one meeting.
 
Quickly now, without researching the internet.
The Catholic response is that the philosophical underpinning that Platonism provided was simply a way of understanding the Trinitarian conceptualizations, and that the world was largely Hellenistic to begin with, and it was the vernacular at the time. This is erroneous, however.
