It seems that due to a revelation from "god," the Mormon "Pope" decrees that one should no longer refer to this religion as the "Mormons," or even "LDS." The full title should be used at all times, except for historical references to places and events and what-not. And of course we can still call The Book of Mormon, "The Book of Mormon."
But shall we continue to listen to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Tabernacle Choir?
Methinks that people, being who they are, are not going to spit out that whole thing in casual conversation, and eventually they will be referred to - as they currently refer to themselves in internal conversations - as the "Saints" (no relation to the New Orleans football team of the same name).
Could this be what the Pope is hoping for (but not saying)?
Will referring to a Mormon as a Mormon now be considered a micro-aggression? A hate crime? Will they be offended? Oy woy!
