Honestly, I'm not surprised by this at all. What Mormons need to remember is that seperation of church and state goes both ways. Seperation of church and state is the protection of civil society and the state from the church not letting the church run roughshod over society. If a church seeks to meddle in the political process whether directly or indirectly, it should be subject to state interference I'm talking things like the prosecution of anti-gay priests/pastors for hate speech, applying affirmative action quotas for pastors and other reforms. You don't want the feds telling you what you can say or who can become a priest then don't tell your followers to vote a certain way or pump money into conservative causes.

After his defiant statements that the church would never get involved in politics, it will be amusing to see him meticulously avoid this thread.

You aren't familiar with the LDS Church, then.  Money is the least of their worries.

The anti religion people are just as bad as the zealots they despise.

Give it a break already .. CA has other serious $$ problems right now.

People have to pay for marriage licenses so being pro-gay marriage is being fiscally sound.

I'd agree here, the IRS needs to examine the LDS's grounds for tax exemption.
