Uhm, correct me if I'm wrong, but is Muslim really in favour of chastity? I think I've read somewhere that they encourage one to "release the sexual tension" by for example self-abuse and/or temporary wives.. But I might be wrong of course.

Well, as I wrote in my introduction, I'm curious about what Catholicism and Mormonism has in common, since I've heard - and read - that they do have a lot in common when it comes to morals and ethics, for example in touchy subjects such as abortion, self-abuse (masturbation), sex outside Marriage and homosexual actions. But are there any more things that Catholics and Mormons agree on? (I mean, I know our faiths are very different, such as Mormons believing in plenty of gods, and even that one can become a god, and that Earth's god, I believe, copulated with many women...)

Hello, well, to make a short story of my introduction, I am, and have always been, a Swede, and was born Lutheran, but have been Atheist most of my life. I have studied Islam, Buddhism, and found Christianity after having studied almost all other beliefs first, and well, I studied Martin Luther and was frightened of what he said and everything. I eventually - throug praying and looking at the facts - became a Catholic this year, in March to be precise. The fun thing though is that what opened my eyes to Christianity and belief in God at all, I believe, was some Mormon tips I found on the Internet, that it's not just important to live by God's Eternal Law by doing things the right way, but also not to think or say things that are "not good". Of course, the thing about polygamous Marriage did frighten me when I heard about that... I have no intention what-so-ever to become a Mormon, but I've heard that we Catholics and Mormons have some common ethical and moral grounds, which I am curious about.
