Why does the Church suddenly want the word back? What’s behind this new legal push, and what does it mean for podcasts, media, and the wider post-Mormon community? We break down the key details from the Salt Lake Tribune’s reporting, the legal implications, and why critics say the Church abandoned the trademark years ago.
Plus, other major Mormon headlines:
• The Church releases a statement on Wade Christofferson
• Members working to get lost blessings restored
• Karen Hyatt excommunicated
• The Brodies Awards: bigger than ever
• Another wave of Mormon molestation cases</p>
