that isn't exactly accurate. they did change their stance in the 70s yes. however it was more like this, the descendants of cain (people of color basically) were cursed for cain's transgression. as such they were not worthy for the priesthood, though they could still be members of the church.

So people of color were cursed and unworthy. That doesn't sound like black people are more sinful to you? I mean, seriously?

And I would love to see enrollment numbers for people of color prior to the 80s. I realize that you can claim that they were allowed in the church, but it wasn't so in practice unfortunately.

basically all christian churches have similar problems with their policies if you look into their past (more distant for many churches). Catholicism in particular. not that that is an excuse, i just think its important to come from the right perspective.

Most definitely true. It is just interesting that nobody wants to own up to the fact that there used to be racist policies in place.

I don't mean to say that I think Mormons are evil or dumb or anything like that. I knew several Mormon families growing up and they were consistently awesome people.
