Who recognizes the Mormon church as national leaders in preventing child abuse?

I would check that quote sign for gaslight leakage.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

They also say they're the True Church. Self applied labels should be taken with a grain of salt.

It's the same tactic that we have seen so often in a certain former president. You know it's a lie, but you say it with absolute certainty knowing that your devoted followers are obligated to believe it just because you said it, and then you demonize any source of contradictory facts as fake, or in the church's case, satanic.

LDS bubble mentality, it's so astonishingly goofy and c_lt-like.
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

"Recognized National Leader"
Citation please. If this came from NAMBLA, I am going to have lots of reservations.

The Church just finished arguing in front of the Arizona Supreme Court that they do not have to report child sexual abuse. The Arizona Supreme Court agreed. So just call Kirton McConkie and they will help bishops cover up the abuse. The national leader in "hide the crime and overall deceptiveness".

If there's one thing I know about Mormonism from living in "the mission field" for all my non-BYU years, it's that no one else thinks Mormons are nearly as important as Mormons think other people think Mormons are.
They legit don't care about the LDS church except for as a weird pop culture reference for the most part.

You mean the Mexican Drug Cartel/Katie Hobbs/LDS church rumor going around? I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 were really linked.

I am talking about events found in the newspaper, not some QMormon conspiracy.
