Welcome to CatholicLDSChristianity.com

Catholicldschristianity.com is a place of learning and exploration into comparing and contrasting the basic Christian doctrines of Roman Catholicism and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) as found in the book Catholic Roots, Mormon Harvest written by Eric Shuster (Cedar Fort, 2009). This website provides short excerpts from the book to create a platform for further study and examination. In doing so there is hope that a greater dialogue can take place among Roman Catholics and Latter-day Saints to share their faith, explore beliefs and find common ground on which to build lasting relationships of positive community influence, trust, friendship and moral character.


Catholic Roots, Mormon Harvest - The Book

Catholic Roots, Mormon Harvest is a book that chronicles the faith journey of author Eric Shuster and his wife Marilyn as they converted from the oldest and most celebrated Christian religion in Roman Catholicism to one of the newest and most controversial Christian religions in Mormonism. The Shusters each provide personal accounts of their challenges and triumphs from Marilyn and her years as a Franciscan nun earning a degree in Catholic theology, to Eric and his years as a music minister and active lay person. The book respectfully compares 40 doctrines between the two religions and how the Shusters parlayed their deep and abiding roots in Roman Catholicism into a spiritual harvest for themselves and their family as Latter-day Saints. The result is a heartwarming story full of surprises and testimonials of what can happen when the Lord unexpectedly redirects the spiritual lives of those seeking His guidance.
