Obviously, the Mormon leaders didn’t see the virus coming. They got caught with their pants down having to charter jets to bring missionaries home. The first COVID death in Utah was an unfortunate man whose last public outing was to the Bountiful Temple, and Nelson’s special surprise for the 200th Anniversary of the First Vision was a limp hosanna shout to an almost empty theater for a solemn assembly. And, it appears, priesthood members are conducting their own sacrament meetings at home.
So, what to do to rally the faithful and try to recapture the image that the church leaders have power and authority? Call a world-wide fast. Try to re-capture non-existent authority by pretending other churches and organizations around the world are joining in following the Mormon leaders... more smoke and mirrors to try to convince the faithful that their leaders matter.
