Sex abuse victim says Mormon church silenced her | Cuomo

A woman who says she was abused at the hands of her own father is speaking about what she says is an effort by the Mormon church to protect itself from sex abuse claims. Chelsea Goodrich, now 38, says when she was a child, her father John Goodrich, a former bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had routinely slipped into bed with her while he was aroused. Chelsea Goodrich joins “CUOMO” to tell her story. "The church did nothing" after she reported the abuse, she said. #Mormo

The Mormon Church got out of a child abuse lawsuit... because of confession (Livestream)

Victims of child abuse sued the Mormon Church for knowing about their plight but doing nothing about it. The Church argued that they became aware of the abuse through a confession... therefore they didn't have to report it to authorities. An Arizona judge just ruled in favor of the Church.

LDS Church Sues “Mormon Stories” Podcast Host John Dehlin

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is suing John Dehlin, the creator of the “Mormon Stories” podcast, in a trademark and copyright dispute that critics say looks a lot like an attempt to intimidate a longtime voice of dissent. The church claims Dehlin’s podcast uses protected branding, images, and the word “Mormon” in ways that could confuse people into thinking the show is officially affiliated with the church. But Dehlin—who was excommunicated in 2015 and has spent years platform

Lawsuit: Utah firm and lawmaker helped Mormons hide abuse

Three children who were sexually abused by their father are accusing a Utah state legislator and a prominent Salt Lake City law firm of conspiring with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to cover up their abuse and allowing it to go on for years. In a court filing in Cochise County, Arizona, made public Wednesday, the children of the late Paul Adams asked an Arizona judge for permission to add Republican state Rep. Merrill F. Nelson and law firm Kirton McConkie as defendants in thei

Your grandparents are bankrupting you

Today's retirees are the wealthiest cohort of Americans. The median household headed by someone over age 65 is far wealthier than the average household headed by someone in their late 30s. Despite that, roughly 22 cents of every dollar the federal government spent last year was funneled to retirees via Social Security. Medicare spending accounted for another 14 percent. Many of those dollars were extracted from younger, poorer Americans. (The rest were borrowed and added to the national debt.)

Elder Oaks and The LDS Punishment Initiative!

This week’s Mormon Newscast centers on what looks like a renewed willingness by Church leadership under Dallin H. Oaks to draw sharper lines and enforce them. Whether it's the Church’s trademark lawsuit involving John Dehlin or the excommunication of Landon Brophy, such seems to signal a broader shift toward tightening control over both narrative and dissent a shift Elder Oaks requested not too long ago. From there, we hit a range of developing stories across the Mormon landscape. We’ve got an

This week, editors Peter Suderman, Katherine Mangu-Ward, Nick Gillespie, and Matt Welch discuss the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the media coverage that followed. They examine the shooter's manifesto, why it struck some observers as uncomfortably normal, and what that says about the mainstreaming of extreme political rhetoric.
