On the other hand men who have crossed the line for serious moral offenses towards others like murder, adultery, etc. then I don't care what he claims about forgiveness, I will never trust that man with any important responsibility. I will never let a repentant child molester near my kids and I will never go into a business venture with a repentant adulterer because of their prior ability to prove they are capable of making deplorable decisions. God may ask us to forgive, but it does not mean I need to trust the person or pretend nothing ever happened. I look at my candidates through their actions because those and not faith tend to be the better predictor of future actions. Just my two cents. For the record, I am neither a Roman Catholic nor a Mormon. I am a Reformed Protestant Christian and a theologian. I have been for 30 years. It is my calling and obligation to make theological assessments. In that capacity, I am persuaded by Scripture, history, and reason that Catholicism is closer to the religion of Jesus Himself than is Mormonism. I am persuaded that Reformed protestantism is closer still, having captured more of His theology and practice than either of them. Saying so is a matter of informed conviction, not bigotry, despite the outrage of some above. I reached the conclusion that, since truth matters so very much, the closer to the truth one is, the better off one is, probably in many ways.
