You have summarized well the attraction of the LDS: brotherhood ... or sisterhood. You have also summarized well its weakness: the extremely strange beliefs that make no sense in the context of the Bible - the multitude of contradictions.
The advice would be to deepen your understanding of the Catholic faith, particularly the Mass with its exquisite words and prayers: listen to them carefully. Read a chapter of the New Testament each day and read some of the love letters the Church writes, they are heart warming. Perhaps start with the documents St. John Paul II wrote.
Finally look for some good knowledgeable Catholic friends. This is a weakness of the Catholic Church, because the beliefs are so gratifying the social aspects, in many parishes, are neglected ... a pity ... friendship is so important.
