Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we cover just one story — and it is a big one.

John Dehlin and Open Stories Foundation have now filed their formal response and countersuit in the LDS Church’s lawsuit against Mormon Stories, and the filing appears to do far more than simply deny the Church’s allegations. Buried in the legal response are arguments, timelines, and claims that could reshape how this entire case is understood.

What exactly is Mormon Stories alleging back against the Church? What parts of the Church’s case are being challenged? And are there details in this filing that make the dispute much more consequential than a simple trademark fight?

Tonight we break down the countersuit, the legal strategy behind it, and the parts of the filing that stood out most once we dug into the documents.
