“The Mormon Church was officially a racist organization until 1978. It did not believe that black people had souls and refused to allow them into the church,” (“Religion in 2008,” March 4, vol. CXLIII, no. 34).
This is totally ridiculous and shows a lack of research. The Mormon Church always allowed blacks into the Church, but until 1978 they could not be ordained to the priesthood. It was never taught that blacks did not have souls, just that they could not be ordained. Please get your facts right.
