Yep, that's Catholic teaching. Same stuff I heard when teaching at St. Bonaventure. However, when one of their students or parishioners wanted to convert, especially to the LDS faith, you could hear the complaints all over the place calling us all sorts of things. There was a tragic accident with one of the children of one of our teachers. The girl got hit by a train. She was 5 years old. The things he would say about other churches and doctrine was really over the top. But, he was in pain so those of us who were not Catholic let it ride and just were there for him. Name calling happens with Catholics as well. And, of course, there were the Crusades that puts into question the pious attitude you shared. The continuing prayers for centuries against my ancestors, the Jews.
It's interesting that you say we bash Jews and Catholics? As I am, I'm not bashing anyone. I'm explaining why the Doctrines of other Churches are false. Jesus Christ himself said not to join any other church (religion) because they were all wrong meaning their doctrines. And, they blind the good people with crafty doctrine and stuff that keep them from the truth. The reason why we don't bash individuals is because each person has their free moral agency to choose. However, doesn't mean that in a discussion or debate forum why Catholic doctrine is an abomination to the Lord such as baptism and the sacraments. It's too bad that you are so sensitive. See, it's our duty to teach the world that the True Gospel is again back on the earth. The Book of Mormon was given only once from the Holy Ghost to Joseph Smith. Since then, man has attempted to interpret it in their own context, say that they don't need another bible, claim that it was stolen from other authors (as if the bible scholars don't do the same with the bible). And, the B of M has been translated to 115 languages around the world. Did you know that it was a Jew who did the translating from English to Hebrew? He was a professor from Israel University that came and taught at Brigham Young University when I was there. Nice guy.
I know you try to think that I'm bashing you. But, I'm not. Even when I point out the double-mindedness aspect of your story about praying to God about the Book of Mormon. It happened to me for a while until I realized what the verse really said and what I was doing. Then, my eyes were open to all the prophecies of the Bible that point to Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. I understood them. The spirit opened my eyes and heart and I stopped telling God what is and isn't and listened. It is disturbing that people actually think that they are swallowing human flesh (heart muscle) and human blood that God would want us to do that. Satan wants that. He loves Hannibal Lecter. Stop that! Gross... Eat someinstead.
Your perception of yourself is very far from my perception of you. Sure you are only bashing others. Real arguments and logic is strange to you. So I doubt your "Jewish" / "mathematical" / "catholic school teacher" stories.
