	<!--{{Summary1}} The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims that it is the restored Church of Jesus Christ. Fundamental to that belief is that the Church was lost for a time. Without such a loss, there could have been no Restoration. Critics, and especially those who are of Protestant, Orthodox, or Catholic Christian background, have argued that the Latter-day Saint belief in the Great Apostasy is erroneous on many grounds. Some have argued that Christ never established an official institution during His mortal life. Others have argued that He did found a church, but that the church was never lost.		<!--{{Summary1}} The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims that it is the restored Church of Jesus Christ.

	Regardless of the criticism, it is a valuable exercise for Latter-day Saints to consider the historical, scriptural, and theological grounding for their belief in the Great Apostasy. While there are some aspects of this belief that lie beyond the ken of academics, Latter-day Saint belief is not contradicted by existing historical or scriptural evidence.
