From the article: The mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon church, repudiated polygamy more than a century ago. “

If it gets legalized, they will bring it back, guaranteed.

They have never repudiated or removed the doctrine from their Scriptures and many still defend the doctrine, even though they say it is no longer practiced.

OTOH, I do know a couple of Mainstream Mormon families who do practice it, quietly.

Evidently the writer never looked up the history of it all:

Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriage...
I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws..."

~ Wilford Woodruff, 4th LDS President

The spineless 'leaders' of MORMONism rolled over and exposed their collective bellies to the US Gov't like a litter of fearful puppies!

Good grief they even have people who have gone on TV showing their lifetsyles as polygamists. Makes it difficult to believe the church opposes this... There are some who practice this, though they never actually marry...not because of what the church thinks as much as once the women have children they go on the welfare rolls...the more women in the household the more revenues from the taxpayers for the free ride.
