The rhetoric emanating from this post confirm the bigotry of Mormons against the Roman Catholic Church....have you people no shame???

[zerinus]

There were a few mean rhetoric coming from a non-Mormon which I have deleted. I don't see any bigotry coming from the Mormon side though.

[cemiami]

it just continues....do you see the hypocrisy here? Catholics voted for Romney as Gov and many for Rep nominee and you guys turn this around and attack the Pope and Roman Catholics just due to their faith? How would you feel if we attacked Pres Monson, who is a fine and decent man??? The rhetoric above is sad, if anyone should know how Catholics have been mistreated it should be Mormons, but this has become a forum for denigration

[zerinus]

And you are equally free to reply to them, as long as the dialogue is respectful on both sides.

Why do I really care how many Mormons attend the Temple in Italy? Oh, and hey face it there are tons of Mormons in Italy! That is why the Church is building a Temple there. Only areas with a high amount of Church Members get Temples. Guess the Pope freakin' out that the True Church of Christ is becoming more established in Rome.

Please Mormons don't reject the Bible! Your just saying that because the mormon church follows the bible more than your church does. There is a video called "Does Mormonism comply with Biblical Doctrine?" you should watch it!

@Jubjub1878

Do you think a temple is enough for millions of people in the entire world? Do you know how much money would cost to people everywhere to go to one single temple? We don't build temples to convert others, we build temples for ourselves. i was so happy to have a temple in Rome, not because is somehow" related" to the catholic church (I think none of the LDS thought about it), but because is closer than the Swiss temple...

The entity to be on guard against is islam.

i believe the laughter was more about the fact that they had all just oood and ahhd at the announcement rather than laughing at catholics or anyone else...

Just two words "HOW SAD".

Solo due parole "CHE TRISTEZZA"

@cemiami No one is attacking the pope or Roman Catholicism. I am an Italian LDS. Catholics are just as welcome as LDS in Italy. No one is taking away the fact that Italy is a Catholic nation. Catholics, in my view, are hurting themselves by embracing secularism at every turn.

@Doliath Dont worry brother I am sure it well but just as good as the Salt Lake Temple but its not the look that counts it's the work that counts the work inside the temple

@cemiami - if anyone is attacking the Pope and Catholics here, they are wrong. As much as the LDS people have been persecuted, we should know how stupid and wrong it is to attack or denigrate other religions. I share your indignation. Shame on any of you (LDS or not) who choose to attack any other religion.

@Jubjub1878 Mormons won't convert Catholics, the Spirit of God will. Mormons will carry the message to them. Already the Spirit is speaking to those who are ready.

@Doliath Knowing the Church as I do, it will reflect the architecture of the City.
