This paper seeks to engage the implications of these ideas through the comparative exploration of Catholic and Mormon thought. I will do this within the field of study known as the “theology of religions.” Broadly speaking, this field addresses theological questions that arise between faiths (as contrasted with questions arise within a faith community). As theologian Mark Heim describes it, those working in the field are often “driven by concern for religious diversity as an intellectual and perhaps apologetic problem.” In its simplified form, he asks: “How can Christians account for the existence, the power and the virtues of other religious traditions?” One may enter this discussion from many angles, but Catholic theology provides an especially helpful comparison for drawing distinctions and clarifying the issues at stake in thinking about the diversity of religions from an LDS perspective.
