Mormon Church changes policy on gays

[Katzndogz]

Although not necessarily in this manner, the Mormon Church will have to change if it is to cease resembling a cult and attain mainstream appeal. Which would be a good thing for America.

Mormons have gone pretty mainstream. They've got 7 million or so members in the US and growing, up from 700,000 or so 50 years ago. Methodists in contrast have lost 4.6 million members in the last 50 years, with 2% congregation losses per year.

The Episcopal church is dwindling. Methodists are on the way out. There are more Mormons that Lutherans, more than Presbyterians, more than Pentecostals.

But far, far less than the Baptists or the Catholics.

The Episcopalians and Methodists have both accepted same sex marriage. The Presbyterians have split their denomination with Presbyterian USA accepting same sex marriage.

The only denominations that are growing are the ones that do not normalize same sex marriage.

Most of the leadership of the Mormon church was fucking butthole for over a century already. This just brings it out in the open!
