As a convert to Mormonism from Protestantism, I am amazed Laura Banks (Readers' Forum, April 25) and others think the LDS Church has an "obligation" to the FLDS Church. That's exactly the same as claiming the Catholic Church has an obligation to the Protestant churches, because the Protestants (and their beliefs) emanated from the Catholics. Since the FLDS Church has been deemed the "Mormon FLDS Church" by the uninformed, the Protestant churches should be deemed the Catholic Baptists or Catholic Methodists. Just because churches started with the same scriptures more than a hundred years ago does not make them the same church.
