Catholicism claims, like the others, to be a revealed religion. But in its 2000 year "intellectual" tradition it, like all the others except the JCLS, has utterly failed to persuade its God to provide any further revelations. While the Mormons receive direct revelations all the time (especially when it comes to undoing previous revelations like polygyny) the Catholics remain stuck with old revelations. What is strange is that they don't all convert!
