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. The church will also update its handbook for leaders, removing the label of apostasy for same-sex marriage.

Shows that the Romney faction has the upper hand in the Mormon club right now. Watch for Mitt to find some reason to blabber and attack Trump within a week or two.

As with leftists, their hatred consumes them, and erupts any time they get “triggered”. Some of them even long for the “good old days” when their ancestors could outlaw religions they didn’t like.
The Second Amendment protects the First Amendment.

"Its similar to Catholicism that way, too."Really? Based on what - other than your own dimwitted prejudices.

LOL! Your church is filled with butt screwing pedophiles and you think its Gods Church?
Yes, because God established and ordained it. Since that time it has been run by flawed, imperfect men, who have sinned and broken faith with the mission many, many times.
I'm willing to bet that your church has too.

LDS has added so much junk to the bible tradition that a downfall was inevitable. There may be people in the middle of this mess and confusion who believe on Jesus yet, but they are at a serious disadvantage.
This is sad in a way since LDS used to be a bastion of conservatism. But God’s agenda is more important even than the national agenda. Get the foundation right, then everything that stands on it will get right.
I wonder if we will see counter-reaction and splitting in the LDS. It’s possible.

Does your church have a big sign out front that says:
“NO SINNERS ALLOWED”?

No, this is crap. Jesus never said anything about a Pope.

Well, lets start down the list of unScriptural things with the Catholic church.
1. Prayer to dead saints
2. Belief all Christians are NOT saints
3. Infant baptism
4. Removal of any accountability to/with lay people
5. Priests and bishops that MUST be unmarried
6. Centralized authority instead of separate churches
Shall we get started? Its an incomplete list, but I look forward to what is yet to come, because the Catholic church does all sorts of things overriding the Bible.

The Bible does not support anything describing Peter as the first pope and Jesus is our rock, not Peter.

The Catholic Church is the original church, founded by St. Peter. You, however belong to a false church, founded by some individual on his or her own.
Good luck.

No, the Catholic church is not Gods church. It even removed from its parishioners the choosing of bishops and ministers. There is zero accountability between the Deep State Catholic church gay pedophiles and you, the willing financier of the disgust.
Its unbiblical in so many unholy ways.

The Catholic church is a den of unaccountable gay pedophiles not following Scripture, having made up the whole of what they are and do.
Enjoy.

Jesus himself founded Catholicism in Matthew 16:18
Nah. Thats just an old Roman tale, never believed until hundreds of years later.
Even the Orthodox dont believe Romes pride.

While the Child should not pay for the sins of the parents, all they have done is let the fox in the henhouse.
The Vatican made this mistake in the 60’s out of “compassion” and sacrificed countless children and its very soul in the process, when it let admitted homosexuals into the priesthood.
To: ConservativeMind
"The Bible does not support anything describing Peter as the first pope and Jesus is our rock, not Peter."You might want to get a refund for the copy of the Bible you've been reading:
Matthew 16:18
18. "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
That part missing in yours? Maybe you can still get a refund.
