So...babies that are born in foreign countries, villages, etc who are not baptized in whatever faith, they go to hell?
No. Neither do people of the Jewish faith. The Catholic Catechism states that as Catholics we live our faith, and naturally extend a hand to those who wish to live as we do or are interested in Catholicism. The Catechism further states we leave those who are not of our faith (including atheists) in the loving arms of God. Where humans fail, the Holy Spirit can work wonders. We do not try and take over or take on the job of God's Holy Spirit.
Yes. And if you had seen the distress of my grandmother's daughters over the LDS desecration even you might have felt badly. I can only hope so.
Because you are using proxies, stuffing words into the mouth of a person you never knew, never even met! Would you stuff words into the mouth of a live person? In the Catholic faith, we believe in the living Body of Christ--and that it includes those alive in this world and those who have passed on. You have no right. It is as simple as that.
Because our faith is just as dear to us, if not dearer. Why can't you respect that?
Arrogance. You are claiming you can do what God and the angels cannot.
You are misinformed. No idolatry.
As I said, you are misinformed, or in error.
That is absolutely fascinating! Like your family, mine on my mothers side also came from a long line of Mormons in Provo and Salt Lake City. Our branch got excommunicated though, over a land dispute. Funny historyThis is Joseph Smith:

It was chosen for me. I am an ex-Mormon. I also have line/s that go back to the beginning with Joseph Smith. This Eden, Arizona – Mormon Ghost Town – Legends of America was a town that my family established. It's a Mormon ghost town now. Several went from this town (or others mentioned) to Mexico where other Mormon families lived. My grandfather was born into it but didn't attend as an adult that I can remember but I realize there was life before my existence. My grandmother was a Quaker and came from a long line of Quakers. She never went to an LDS church for service and she never said (to the best of my knowledge) anything derogatory about it. You know.........like Quakers do or don't to be more precise. My father was a Mormon but had not attended since he was a child. My mother was born a Catholic. My dad said: Nope! Not doing that! I told my parents at like 6 or 7 that I wanted to become a Nun. They both said: Nope! Not doing that!
I remember getting up on Saturdays to crack wheat at the Church. Those were crazy times. Every night of the week had one family member attending church. It was never a night that we were as a family alone. The women didn't really hold a lot of power. Their power came from tattling on other women. We had a front room that was always reserved for other Mormons to come over to. Every once in a while a couple of the women from the church would come by. It didn't really stop there. Missionaries leave home with someone and they are not allowed to maintain contact with their parents. Just the Bishop, etc. That other person is with you 24/7 and they maintain contact with the bishop. You are never alone and someone is always checking up on you. I think that is the most horrendous part of it. It's the part that I don't like. It's hard to digest.
The link you provided does not contain anything close to "evidence". It is an attempt to justify past actions that developed later.
