I am enormously proud of High Country News for writing about this growing menace in the U.S. I know many Mormons who would argue that their Church is not part of this fundamentalist sect, but their Church turns a blind eye, hence it is part of the problem. So many newspapers and television shows pander to the Mormon Church, thinking that playing neutral is fair for any religion. Thank you for writing this excellent article on child rape and incest within the Mormon sects. To quote Dante: “The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who in time of crisis remain neutral.”
