Yeah I'm originally from Florida and am living in Texas at the moment. I never knew any Mormons in Florida.

Lol, I'm sorry guys. I'm embarrassed for having asked something so silly! I'm pretty sure I've heard that before somewhere and I just always assumed it was for modesty purposes and probably only practiced amongst the more conservative Mormons...

Thanks everyone. So initiatory, endowment, and sealing, are the 3 ordinances Mormons make when they are adults. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming initiatory and endowment are both required of practicing Mormons. Is sealing also required, or is a Mormon ok to choose the single life?

What does it mean to be "covenanted in the temple?" Is this something that all Mormons should do? For anyone who understands Catholicism, is this kind of like the mormon equivalence to the sacrament of confirmation?

That makes sense, thanks everyone!

Thanks guys! I'm not sure where I heard that lol.

I have heard that Mormons are not to wear certain colors... such as red for example. Is this true? If so, why? Thank you!

gotcha!

So is it an actual SIN if you choose not to wear it one day... perhaps because it's hot or uncomfortable?

Thanks everyone! Vort, what do you mean by it's not as big of a deal?

Are temple garments supposed to be worn by all practicing Mormons, or is it something optional that usually only the more conservative members wear? What are the rules involved? For example, if it's a really hot day and you're going to be outside, is it ok to not wear it? What about for when women wear formal dresses? Thanks!

Oh that's cool. I myself have never attended a Latin Mass, but after reading this post I'm kind of interested...

Thank you so much, everyone! Claire, nice to see another Catholic on here!

Thanks guys! I am glad to see your views on the Catholic Church is so positive. I've met a few mormons since my husband joined the Air Force, and have grown to have a lot of respect for the Mormon faith and the people. Looking forward to gettint to know more of you here!

Will do, good sir! :)

Hi, as Mormons, what are you guys' views on Catholics? Thanks! :)

Hi everyone, I am a practicing Catholic, 28 years old, homemaker, and married to an air force pilot. I am here to learn about the Mormon faith, as I find it interesting and quite similar to Catholicism. I am happy to be here and hope to meet some like minded folks in the Mormon community. :)
