Right after the controversial Supreme Court ruling, about COVID and worship, Elder Bednar spoke out against it. It is EXTREMELY rare for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaders to speak out about laws and they only do in dire times, such as this.
Elder Bednar continued, “While believers and their religious organizations must be good citizens in a time of crisis, never again can we allow government officials to treat the exercise of religion as simply nonessential. Never again must the fundamental right to worship God be trivialized below the ability to buy gasoline.”
