What was said
"They actually supported a piece of landmark compromise legislation in 2022 which federally recognized my same-sex marriage which is against their church doctrine while also enshrining in the very same law protections for their church to not have to recognize that marriage."
Jonathan Rauch says the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints offers an example of what he calls “civic theology” through negotiation and mutual accommodation. He points to the church’s support for 2022 federal legislation recognising same-sex marriage while including protections for religious institutions.
