Children of LGBT parents can now be blessed or baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, church officials declared in a new policy on Thursday, dramatically reversing a 2015 decision that excluded those children from the rituals until they were 18.

and Another One Bites the Dust....
Who knew that money was this tight with them?
Once again the Mormons bow down to society’s pressure.
Mormons > Morphons...
Any time someone in charge of the church has a "revelation" they can annul whatever problematic doctrine crops up.
It's similar to Islam in that way.
Actually, a kid is not responsible for who he wound up with as parents.
However, no gay union itself is holy in any way.
Its similar to Catholicism that way, too.
Next, they’ll reverse their decision to pull out of the Boy Scouts.

If you have no scriptural anchor, your boat is free to drift with the currents.
I wonder how much Bishop Milt had to do with this decision?
on cue - very predictable response
Mormons have long since hit the dust.
LOL! Your church is filled with butt screwing pedophiles and you think its Gods Church?
Your church is more disgusting than the Church of Satan, which actually has the capacity of following what they claim.
The Catholic church is NOT the New Testament church and your words show how deluded you really are.
Welcome to Free Republic, though!
hard to believe the once-very-moral (after 1890’s revelation, anyway) Mormon LDS church is going the way of Satan
(the children of immoral parents should not be punished, I agree with that much...it is clearly Biblical and moral that the children should not be punished for the sins of their parents or anyone else....... but... the rest of this sounds mostly very very wrong, however.. so very sad for the LDS church)
I’ve heard the church has made some very bad business decisions - one example is some huge mall in Salt Lake. Enormous cost overruns in construction, trouble getting tenants, keeping tenants, etc. all eating into church funds which of course come from the flock. Also the giant mall biz model is not what it once was!
So this is probably a decision based on the Benjamins!
