MHP featured this woman on her show this weekend. Patriarchy of Mormon church told her to stop promoting the concept of ordaining women in that church. She refused, so they EXCOMMUNICATED her from the Mormon Church.. That involves voiding her SEALING (covenant) with the church, her spouse and her family, and (theoretically) blocking her entrance to Mormon heaven. No wonder she is devastated. She is still civilly married, but I think she cannot enter temple grounds or participate/ attend ANY church events, including those for her family - even if it is a marriage or baptism. She is no longer allowed to “take the sacrament, hold a Church calling, give a talk in Church, offer a public prayer in behalf of the class or congregation in a Church meeting, or vote in the sustaining of Church officers.” The patriarchy is protecting its dominance. Mormon religious leaders have REPEATEDLY squelched the efforts of women’s rights leaders who oppose official church teachings on GENDER ROLES. In Mormonism, women, who make up 56 percent of the church, occupy an unusual position, as they are simultaneously a crucial component of religious life while also systematically DENIED access to LEADERSHIP positions and the priesthood. These MEN need to finally get the REVELATION that WOMEN have an equal place at their size in leadership. But I guess, since all MEN can become priests, and are the spiritual father of the family, if women get any power.... there will be no one left to lead. thinkprogress.org/home/2014/06/24/3452713/mormon-church-excommunicates-womens-rights-leader-just-as-they-always-have/
