Karen,

The sign of a true bigot is the question "Why are you bothering to defend
groups you don't even belong to?"  Sometimes it takes the form "If I'd known
you were a , I wouldn't have said it."

Your distinction between the doctrines of the members of the church and the
doctrine of the church seems vague.  Are you suggesting a "secret doctrine"
to Catholicism and/or Mormonism, known only by the Inner Circle of priests?
If so, I would ask to see your evidence of its existence.  I trust you know
that such accounts are almost always frauds told by an organization's
enemies.  An example would be Jack Chick's Crusader Comics #12 and up,
including Alberto, about a vast conspiracy headed by the Jesuits who control
the Vatican.  Pure poppycock and vastly harmful; but the claims that
higher-ups are covering up prevent such lies from ever being fully quenched.

If I have misinterpreted you, please tell me what you meant by your
distinction.
