Are These Mormons Risking to Become Catholics?

Basically any kind of Evangelical Christian (and I was basically that at age 9), will be proud of the first century Jewish believers and some Gentile believers like St. Luke.

Basically any kind of Evangelical Christian will be equally proud of the Tribulation saints. Those who do not take the mark.

But if on top of that, you are also proud of Christian ancestors, that's risking to take you first to historic Protestant Churches, like Anglican and Lutheran, all of Scandinavia, much of Wales and all of England, much of Germany except the West and South where Catholics hold sway. And then, past those, to Rome Sweet Home.

There was a time, I could not be Evangelical any more, because I admired Gustavus Adolphus. There was also a time, later, I could not be admiring Gustavus Adolphus anymore, because I got disgusted with what Luther did.

If you go at things from the perspective of your own Evangelical Church, sticking to one (which I didn't, and ma didn't even discriminate against occasional Catholic Mass on Sundays), you can go on for years being satisfied with your own Evangelical Church's view of things. But if you are proud of your ancestors and their faith in Christ, it's very arguable that you will be curious on their perspective.

I found Catholic theology ultimately more compatible with Evangelical Theology of my first conversion (of a serious intellectual type) than Modernist Lutheranism, and also than even Classical Lutheranism.

The Evangelical Churches will mostly all say, in the justified believer, the Holy Gost takes His dwelling. The Catholic Church will say Christ knocks on the door of your heart and wants to live inside. He wants to make it clean, so He can enjoy being in it. Luther said "we remain dirt, but it's dirt that Christ's justice covers" ... I saw a video in the feed, didn't click on it, some Calvinists and perhaps some others, not sure if Evangelical or not, were going to debate what "total depravity" actually means. I hope they decided it doesn't mean anything. Or, well, perhaps that's not a reasonable hope, but it's a pious wish, and let's hope some of them decide so later./HGL

PS, for those who wonder why I listen to any Protestant singing, the Mormons in question chose a song that comes from a Catholic mouth and pen:

The original Old Irish text, "Rop tú mo Baile", is often attributed to Saint Dallán Forgaill in the 6th century.[4] However, scholars believe it was written later than that. Some date it to the 8th century;[5] others put it as late as the 10th or 11th century.[6]

While I may be the sole Catholic in the room to vote Dallán Forgaill, no one will dispute that the Irish from 8th to 11th C. were at least as Catholic as Monseigneur Lefebvre after 1988. Valid episcopal succession, if not always perfect union with Rome./HGL
