Read the Book of Mormon
Hi Carl -I am also a Roman Catholic. As you have questions about the LDS faith tradition and the Book of Mormon, I encourage you to read the Book of Mormon. I am doing that. I am reading the Book of Mormon with an open mind. I let it speak to me.
You have legitimate questions. Al faith traditions have unanswered questions-which ultimately reside on faith. I try not to focus on the small points of unanswered questions I may have without first focusing on the larger picture. You will find that the Book of Mormon is very Christ centered. As a Catholic, You and I may differ on different doctrines between Catholics and the LDS Church, but you will find that Jesus Christ is the center of their teachings and beliefs.
-so my advise-is go to the source-The Book of Mormon and then The Doctine and Covenants which further define the understanding and teachings of the LDS Church.
Like the Bible, both are considered as authoritative/sacred by the LDS Church.
-Carol
