In Nostra Aetate we read:
"The Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in [other] religions. She regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men. Indeed, she proclaims, and ever must proclaim Christ 'the way, the truth, and the life' (John 14:6), in whom men may find the fullness of religious life, in whom God has reconciled all things to Himself."
I think this statement is perfectly appropriate. One can find similar statements from LDS Church leaders. One can be charitable and liberal-minded without rushing headlong into relativism.
The LDS Church can retain its truth claims yet be more tolerant and open to other views. I know it has taken the Catholic Church a long time to allow members to hold more diverse views and retain membership but there is no such thing in the LDS Church. Just look at how active members rant about Harry Reid. Can one openly discuss issues in the LDS Church that may disagree with top leadership and stay in good standing? I don't think so. Can they discuss openly in Church setting controversial historical issues and not be ostracized and possibly even disciplined? Doubtful. I live and work with many Catholics of varying flavors and I can tell you the LDS Church has no such culture that would tolerate such diversity.
