Cwic Media- LDS Podcast / Latter-day Saints

Are Latter-day Saints A Part Of The Political Right?

Dr. Ralph Hancock, political philosophy professor, talks about Dr. Patrick Mason's "Proclaim Peace." Dr. Mason is the Latter-day Saint icon in academic circles on the topic of "Peace" and "Peacemaking."
 
But is his approach tenable for Latter-day Saints? Is it congruent with gospel principles or is is built on a framework of social justice?

Did Charlie Kirk Ignite Christianity? How Some Evangelical Leaders See the Grand Blanc, MI Shooting

In a Salt Lake Tribune opinion piece, author and scholar Taylor Petrey says that the Family Proclamation is just "commentary." That it is just describing the times in which it was written.
 
But both President Oaks and Elder Rasband stated strongly that the Proclamation to the World is "doctrine" and "revelatory." This is a perfect example of "Athens vs Jerusalem." So many now want to rid ourselves of the Proclamation or diminish its value into something like "commentary." Why? What is the push?

Family Proclamation Is Commentary?

This episode is a little off-brand for me, but I'm not going to put up with this any longer. Pastor Mark Driscoll has taken the tragedy in Michigan as an opportunity to bash Mormons. Despite the online outcry, Driscoll has doubled down and produced an anti-Mormon eBook, "Are Mormons Christian?"
 
Driscoll specifically states that Mormons do not believe the Creeds and therefore are not Christians.
 
Of course, Latter-day Saints do not accept the Creeds and are therefore "Non-Creedal Christians." Greg states that this is the best description of "Mormons" as Christians. And we fully accept it.

My Thoughts On President Nelson

BYU professor Ralph Hancock responds to BYU professor Kelly Patterson on the issue of liberalism in the church and journalist Jonathan Rauch. What does "Love" really mean, and how is it used politically?

Has Liberalism Gone Too Far In The Church And Our Culture?

Film producer Celene Anderson joins Greg to discuss her deep dive research into plural marriage required by a recent film she produced, The Angel. This is not a polygamy advocacy piece; it's an honest, nuanced look at history, women's voices, Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, and why early Saints believed and lived this practice. We tackle common distortions, the difference between eternal and temporal principles, connections to women's rights in early Utah, and how to talk about a topic that makes many believers uneasy—boldly, thoughtfully, and in defense of the faith.

A Film Producer's Research On LDS Polygamy

Greg and Trevan Hatch, professor of religion at BYU, discuss what makes an Official Position and doctrine of the church. It gets a little dicey. What is the supreme word on the word?

What Is The Official Position Of The Church On Official Positions?

Joseph Smith, by numerous accounts, practiced polygamy. To state that Brigham Young initiated polygamy, lied and made up D&C Section 132, and invited his buddies in on the secret is beyond the pale. Brian Hales joins Greg in this episode to discuss what one must accept if they believe Brigham Young initiated polygamy and without the direction of the Lord.
 
John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow, the third, fourth, and fifth presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, all would have had to have been liars. Also, the second, third, and fourth Relief Society Presidents all stated that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy.
 
What are the real ramifications of believing that Brigham Young made up polygamy and that everyone was in on the conspiracy?
