I don't think so. Most Christianity, Mormons excepted, do not believe the Catholic Church was apostate since the early apostolic age. What's taught in schools and accepted in the public consciousness is hardly a production of Mormon theology.

True that. I've already postulated that most academics are predisposed to anti-religious interpretations. We hear this popularized all the time, as follows:
We can't allow the religious right (the Catholic Church, the Creationists--choose your spiritual whipping boy) to take over, or we'll end up back in the Dark Ages.
I was also observing that LDS readers in particular, might find a Catholic defense deficient, because of the theological presupposition that the RCC was indeed apostate during the time in question.
