Ep83: The Mormon Newscast: Mormonish Edition 07.28.2025

Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we’re diving into a disturbing and heartbreaking headline: A former Mormon missionary has been arrested in Pittsburgh, accused of sexually abusing multiple minors. We’ll break down the details of the case, how he allegedly used his church affiliation to gain trust, and what this means for the LDS Church’s ongoing struggle with abuse scandals.

Also in this episode:

🔹 Tim Ballard Acquitted – What does this mean for the embattled Operation Underground Railroad founder and his future in right-wing religious circles?

🔹 Florida Family Horror – A gut-wrenching case involving the abuse of foster and adopted children who couldn’t even say their own birthdays.

🔹 Heber Valley Temple Update – We take a look at the latest on the controversial LDS temple and zoning conflicts.

🔹 Fairview Mayor Receives Death Threats – Tensions escalate as community members push back on LDS development projects.

🔹 Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Grand Marshal? – What his Days of '47 Parade appearance says about the Church’s continued entrenchment in Utah civic life.

Join RFM, Rebecca Bibliotheca, and Bill Reel as we analyze the headlines, expose the patterns, and provide critical commentary you won’t hear in Sunday School.
