Join this course to learn the origins and teachings of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. You’ll also learn the Catholic response and how to charitably address the Mormon missionary at your front door.
Instructor: Gary Michuta
Instructor Email: gmichuta@hotmail.com
Course description: This course looks at one of the fastest-growing coercive cults in the United States known as the Church of the Latter Day Saints, or Mormonism. Mormonism is growing because most people aren't aware of its history, its doctrines, and that it is a pseudo-Christian religion that uses terminology to make it sound like a historic Christian sect. In this course, we will take a critical look at the history of Mormonism, its founder Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, and the beliefs it teaches.
