Is there a such thing as a Mormon-rite Catholic?

Answer 1

Well, yes. I have a relative who alternates between them on Sundays.

Answer 2

No, no such thing. Mormonism was invented by Joseph Smith in the early 1800's. The book of Mormon was published in 1830. There is quite a gap in beliefs between Mormons and what Catholics believe.

Answer 3

LOL. From what I remember the differences in the "rites" are not differences in belief, it's mere difference in their Mass (what they practice as the Catholic worship service).

The Mass is litrugical, its scripted and when Christianity was first emerging all the churches weren't really unified into one "body", so quickly there were different ways of celebrating the Mass, or in other words different "rites". Once Rome claimed supremacy, most of the churches already founded kept their own rite but since they teach the same doctrine its really the same religion. Any new church founded after that automatically adopted the Latin-rite, the "default" Catholic mass. As these rites differ not in doctrine but simply in culture and history you typically see them named for a country, group of people (ethnically) or geographic area of the world. (ie. eastern-rite, Armenian-rite, etc).

Since "mormon" refers to a religion in of itself, there wouldn't be any Mormon-rite Catholics.

Answer 4

No.

There are over 20 different Catholic Churches that make up the worldwide Catholic Church but no Mormon-rite Catholic.
