Why Did the Mormon Church Stop Polygamy?
For most of the 19th century, the practice of polygamy—referred to by church leaders as “the new and everlasting covenant,” “the principle,” or “celestial marriage”—was preached as a divine commandment by the Mormon Church.

This divine directive—written in his own hand—declared that the New and Everlasting Covenant (a.k.a. polygamy) could never be revoked, even under government pressure. But just a few years later, in 1890, … Continue reading "John Taylor’s Hidden 1886 Polygamy Revelation" The post John Taylor’s Hidden 1886 Polygamy Revelat...
