Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.
“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.
I am sure that after some suitable donations to dear leader Trump, this obvious erroneous matter will be sorted.
They have more than enough money. Actually I wonder which church is the wealthiest. My money is on either Scientology or Mormonism.
I’d guess the catholic church has significantly more wealth than either of those.
It’s Mormons. There’s also a ton of them at the federal level too.
I dunno, this list shows multiple organizations that fall under the Catholic church with wealth in the 10s to 100s of billions.
If you’re talking monetary/liquid wealth then it is probably the Mormons, but the catholic church is much larger and older. They have been amassing wealth for a very long time. Though, functionally it is irrelevant. They both have the ability to wield massive political influence.
The Vatican claims to have more gold in its vaults than has ever officially been mined out of the earth, and considering how much they stole from the Aztecs, it’s possible they aren’t even lying.
Mormons also own an insane amount of real estate.
it’s not just all the gold, jewels, real estate and all the holy relics. the Catholic church also owns tonnes of priceless art. True masterworks that would fetch hundreds of millions at auction. the Mormons dont even know where they misplaced the golden tablets that joseph smith received from God.
Hundreds of milions? They need hundreds of bilions
yeah they have a massive collection of “priceless art amd artifacts”, if they were to sell everything they would net 100s of billions. some artworks alone would fetch over 100 million.
Mormons became the richest church around 15 years ago.
The catholics are far far behind.

I already linked that list. And according to it just the catholic church of Germany may be as nearly wealthy as the entire Mormon church.
