Re: Jana Riess asks an interesting question...

Mormonism has much more relevant problems than to focus on all the moral topics that these individuals think their leadership falls silent on. Fact of the matter is the leadership can go and claim that the world outside of Mormonism is largely governed by sin. Sin causes murders, war, broken househo...
