Default Introduction

Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a devout and committed Catholic, but I am interested in Mormonism due to a relationship I had with a Mormon girl. While that didn't work out, I found her religion fascinating from a cultural and theological standpoint. While I could never agree with the LDS church, I'm not here to attack or "educate" you, I just want to understand your beliefs. I thought this would be a good context to do so. So Hello, and God bless!
