Distinguish Mormons from polygamists

December 4, 2012

I’m a student here at UT and am also a Mormon. I just wanted to say that I would’ve liked yesterday’s article on the polygamist sect to clarify the fact that members of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints are not affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The Church of Latter-Day Saints staunchly opposes polygamy. Stories like these tend to make people think that Mormons practice polygamy and foster hatred toward my church. I understand that this was not the intent, but I just wanted to suggest making that more clear if stories like this are covered in the future.
