Oh. Alright. My mistake.

Whoever said it, Dallas, ask them if they can substantiate.

I dont know who said it...

And I dont need any "substantiation" from them at this point..I feel bad enough I accused StarFish and then went on for pages talking about it thinking it was her..Including calling her arrogant based on that..

Love

I have no doubt that you will do whatever you want.

I am just saying that if we're concerned with what seems to be an arrogant statement conveying the superiority of one religion over another, rather than just reject the statement on the grounds of our viewing it as arrogant, we should question the person who made it and see if he/she can't give some reason that rests on criteria acceptable to both parties.

This is all I'm saying. I haven't commented on Starfish's or anyone else's comments here, just the one in the OP. All I'm saying is that its wording conveys a different idea than it seems to want to.

We must proclaim the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, to do otherwise would be against what Christ has commanded us to do.

My wife was raised Catholic and is now an active LDS member. She was raised Catholic for over 20 years and she's been an LDS member for over 20 years now.

There is great stuff found in the Catholic church, I've attended Mass and have felt the spirit of Christ in it. Christ's name is spoken repeatedly throughout their services. Their services are very Christ centered and reverent.

Katz may have been in a hurry when she wrote that opening statement. There is definitely the suggestion though that she believes Catholicism has no truth. Maybe she needs to modify her opening post, because I don't think she really feels that way.

Very well put.
