It's said that, with the advent of a New Aeon (changeover from Age of Pisces to Aquarius, the foundations of many powerful institutions have been and are being shaken to the very foundation... the Mormon church is certainly one such institution. On a basis of completely false doctrine- that of the Restoration of the True Chirch of Jesus Christ- a reasonably quality social club, or clique has developed. M;mbers being deceived, they pay ten percent of their income to the Church, which is wealthy. The catholics don't have such an effective tithing principle- has begin to look a little threadbare at the seams. Of course, there might be other reasons Fortune has afflicted somewhat the remains of the actual True Church of Jesus Christ (which has the protestant offshoots)... the catholic society is also high quality, comparatively. One could say that many Mormons are being defrauded out of a chunk of their income, by the claim of a supreme holy prophet at the head of the restored, true Church Of Jesus Christ! In America, a lower quality country, they have become very strong. The Light Of Truth is being darkened by this mud-and-slime phenomenon, the false doctrine of "The True Church"! It's harder to perceive with lots of Mormons around! This is not environmental pollution, but socio- or noosspheric pollution. They're always in the attitude of being the biggest government butt-kissers, having been frightened of outlaw status from the beginning. For the New Age, many might want to, allegorically, be as if seated on a bull-dozer right outside the Church structure, with a menacing or admonitory look... We are overpopulated; have limited space- why should we have space for a bunch of deluded catholic-hating yokels; trogdolytes?!

I took the liberty of changing the original title of your post from “Children Of The Corn In Your Backyard” to “Concerns Regarding the One True Church,” because it sounds a little more intriguing, and hopefully a little more captivating in attracting readers to consider the statements being made.
At any rate, in addressing your statements, it is first vital to contemplate a fundamental question.
What is the fundamental foundation of what a true church is supposed to consist of? The true church (as was intended by Jesus Christ, and initiated by his followers) is essentially a body, made up of a group of individuals who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We truly believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That said, as a church, it is vital for each individual within the body to read and digest God’s word, pray (in faith, trusting in God’s sovereignty and power to intervene in our affairs), seek counsel, wisdom, teaching, and understanding from the Holy Spirit (i.e. the Spirit of Truth), and as a group have fellowship with one another, share in each other’s cares and concerns, help a brother or sister out when they need it, and “break bread together,” as a union to proclaim in a symbolic and commemorative way, the Lord’s death until he returns.
Apart from that aspect, it is important to consider the fact that there is another side to a church. That said, there is an arrangement of ecclesiastical elements having within it a type of governing body and structure that requires leadership, money, and rules. Now unfortunately, people in their fallen nature can put too much importance on the ecclesiastical elements, or in some cases, prioritize money, leadership positions, and generate ideas to profit from, which comes at a great cost to the spiritual condition, reputation, and focus of a church. That said, if a church defects from its true purpose and mission as set by the Lord, it can lead to bad financial stewardship, changes in doctrine, and other things that cause dysfunction within the church.
That said, the one true church is supposed to be the community’s access to Christ, and even though we continue to have a sin nature, Christ works in and through our hearts to help us be more like Him, and in effect, be a light that in a very dark world.
