I'm a former Mormon and now a current Catholic

Hi! I'm not Catholic yet... but hope to be after RCIA this next year. It looks like it will be over a year if RCIA starts this fall and then baptism at Easter. I guess that is the normal timeline? Too bad the Catholic church doesn't recognize my LDS baptism. Perhaps if it did, that would speed up the process...

You could check out the following website. It's not affiliated with any religion but it is affiliated with ex-Mormons:

Hi everyone,
Anybody have any suggestions on how to de-program myself of any residual Mormon thoughts/ideas? I am a convert from Protestantism to Catholic but was raised Mormon and my family (almost all of it) is still Mormon. Are there any groups online in addition to this one? Any books you suggest?
Thanks!

Hi everyone.

I am a former Mormon, now a grateful Catholic. After seeing the lies of the Mormon church, I am so grateful I converted to Catholicism. I think the Mormons greatest asset is bringing people in at their most vulnerable moments so they can "win them over".

I joined this group not because I am a former Mormon, I have always been Catholic. My girlfriend is Mormon & I love her very much and would eventually like to see her convert. What made those of you who converted do so? Thanks

Brigadoon--why did you leave the LDS? And why did you convert to the CC? (If you don't mind my asking!)

I was raised Mormon and left to become a Catholic. It has been many years but much of my family will not acknowledge my conversion and others simply will not talk to me.

Yes, I am back as a practicing Catholic now. My issues with the LDS were mainly that they wouldn't allow African-Americans to join the priesthood until the 1970s and also that I thought they taught that God the Father had marital relations with the Virgin Mary in order to conceive Jesus. I'm still not sure if they actually teach that or not. Those are a couple of reasons that I left them. I also left them because I realized that the Catholic Church is true and not the LDS church.

What happened after your LDS baptism? You are back as a practicing Catholic now, right? So what were your issues with the LDS? Why did you leave them?

Hi Sablouwho! Thank God that you did not become LDS!

My experience with the LDS church is this. A couple years ago, after having converted to Catholicism, I also converted to Mormonism. I went to a Mormon church just to check it out one day and I found the people there to be so very friendly and welcoming and it just astounded me. Then, the missionaries started coming to my place and teaching me the Mormon faith. Well, I agreed with everything they taught me and was baptized about 3 or 4 weeks later. That is my experience with the LDS church.
