The Rome congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the formal name) vaunts 5,000 members while all told Italy hosts some 26,000, scattered in 100 congregations. The relationship with Italy began when a Sardinian immigrant to Boston, Mass., named Giuseppe Taranto, known in the US as "Joseph Toronto", was baptized there and then returned to Italy with two fellow American Mormons in 1849. These early Mormon missionaries were particularly active in Piedmont, where they made proselytes in the Waldensian territory. .... Speakers also made clear that a key goal is to demonstrate their activism in Italian civil society, including with helping migrants. In recent years the Mormon church has made conscientious efforts to work together in charity projects with other organizations in Italy, including the Vatican and Roman Catholic religious communities here. In 2015, 14,000 hygiene kits were prepared and distributed in collaboration with the Roman Catholic Sant'Egidio Community in Milan, Calabria, Palermo and Rome.

That same year the Mormons donated to the Italian Red Cross a camp kitchen for preparation of 900 meals daily for the needy. The following year another 6,000 hygiene kits were prepared and delivered for distribution to Sant'Egidio in Rome. by The Mormon youth organization in Venice prepared another 3,000 such kits -- they included diapers, toothpaste, soap, toiletries -- distributed to refugees arriving across the Alps into Italy.

The Mormons set up camp in Mexico so why not Rome? There is still Missionary work going on I guess. This should be very unsettling ti all. We got Mitt Romney because we gave his Father a stipend when he came up from Mexico to Michigan. Had we not done that we would have one less NWO elite to deal with. What is the purpose of the Moromons over in Italy. Evidently they are trying to do the same as in Mexico. I don't like this one bit. But really no one gets to do anything in Italy, and especially Rome, without the blessings of the pope.

You see that LDS President/Prophet Nelson recently met with Pope for 33 minutes. Kinda an oddly specific number, right?

This is frightening. He called the pope gracious. Wonder if they exchanged pics of trafficked Children. This makes me barf. Two religions if the truth be told in reality, are nothing alike. They would like to meet in the middle perhaps. I think last year jorge met with Oprah and Ari Emanuel as well. Another scary thought.

I disagree, they actually have quite a bit in common. Just a lot more experience at it

Anyone the pope meets with, especially connected to LDS should be highly suspect. The pope is highly suspect as well. He is not to be trusted and really, this meeting scares me. Another head scratcher is that many are not up in arms over this meeting. Yes they have quite a bit in common, but none of it does US any good.

I get what you're saying tho. At the superficial level they seem opposites since papacy his ruled by a "celibate" in a fish hat wearing bling and surrounded at all times with symbols while the other guy is from a group that dresses as like feds, whose places of worship (other than the temples) are devoid of symbols, marketing (nothing as bland , intentionaly so, as a mormon church), a prez who likely has many many kids and likely relatives (distant tho they may be) who have both many many kids as well as many many wives. Funny, I guess, when searching to see how many kids president nelson has this call back story to the 80s satanic panic era in SLC published last year popped up: https://kutv.com/news/local/daughter-of-lds-church-president-at-center-of-decades-old-sex-abuse-cover-up-allegations

Most charges like this are true. Very few are false. They are using the same old excuse. They go back to the same well because the were successful once. Also the part of LE finding nothing is baliney. We know from experience and from documents that they have been bought many times. Their claims about False Memory have been debunked. It was in. A post here last year. They will pull out all stops we can be sure.

I agree, but I just don't know about snow and Teal. Seems like an attempt to controll situation or even create it.
