Tonight's Mormon Newscast is packed with major developments affecting the LDS Church, Mormon culture, and the communities surrounding it.
Our lead story examines the guilty plea entered by the brother of a sitting LDS apostle, D. Todd Christofferson, in a child sexual abuse case.
We also cover:
• A Southern Utah active Latter-day Saint, bishopric counselor, stake clerk, and middle school teacher who has been charged with the sexual exploitation of minors.
• A new article asking why many gay Latter-day Saints choose to remain in the Church despite teachings that often place them in an impossible position.
• BYU Football's surprising new sponsorship deal with an energy drink company, and why some members see it as a notable cultural shift.
• Mitt Romney says 80 years old is simply too old to serve in public office. We'll discuss what that might mean for American politics and Church leadership.
• Another suspicious arson investigation in Rexburg raises fresh concerns after a series of similar incidents.
• A Church situation involving a "Asterisk Removal"
Join us live as we separate fact from speculation, provide historical and psychological context, and explore the stories shaping Mormonism today.
