https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/for-mormons-succession-drama-is-against-their-religion/ar-BBHQo5D""According to the church’s website: “The appointment of a new president of the Church happens in an orderly way that — remarkably in today’s world — avoids any trace of internal lobbying for position or rank. Viewed by members as a divinely revealed process, it is devoid of electioneering whether behind the scenes or in public.”"
(Then they better change the website first if they decide to deviate.)
