National Catholic Register : Jimmy Akin, Theologian, Author of Books : "Mormons are not Christians. They do not have valid baptism because they are polytheists. That is, they believe in multiple gods." . "Casting a vote for a Mormon candidate thus means casting one’s vote for a polytheist who present himself to the world as a Christian."

.
"To elect a Mormon to the American presidency would, to my mind, be a disaster."

"In other words, it would deal a huge blow to the American public’s already shaky understanding of what Christianity is."

Should America Elect a Polytheist Who Claims to Be Christian?


Excerpt :

The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the “hierarchy of the truths of faith”. The whole history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men “and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin.
