"The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: "Do good and do not do evil. All of us."
‘But, Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.’
Yes, he can . . . The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone!
‘Father, the atheists?’
Even the atheists. Everyone! . . .We must meet one another doing good.
‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’
But do good: we will meet one another there.
That is core Mormon theology, embodied in our temple worship, and I applaud Pope Francis for saying it so directly and clearly.
The full article I read is in the Huffington Post's religion section, if anyone wants to read it:
