The term "Mormonism" is used to describe the beliefs, doctrines, and practices of the Mormon Church (officially The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and its members.
Mormonism was founded in 1830 upon the religious doctrines set forth by the prophet Joseph Smith as he received them through divine revelation. Unlike other Christian denominations, Mormonism believes in modern prophets and ongoing revelation from God. One of the fundamental beliefs of Mormonism is that it is Christ's church "restored" to the earth. This is based on the belief that after Christ's apostles were killed, the proper authority to act in the name of Christ (the Priesthood) was no longer on the earth. Mormonism refers to this time period as the Great Apostasy. After hundreds and hundreds of years, the Heavens once again opened and the Priesthood of God was restored to Joseph Smith by the same Peter, James, and John that Christ had ordained during His ministry. With the priesthood restored, Joseph Smith was authorized to build up the Kingdom of God on earth.
