What part of honoring and obeying the laws of the land is stumping you? It’s part of our beliefs as outlined by Joseph Smith.

The proclamation by the church was stating that we would abide by the Law, not declaring it just. (http://scriptures.lds.org/od/1 )

“Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress forbidding plural marriages, which laws have been pronounced constitutional by the court of last resort, I hereby declare my intention to submit to those laws, and to use my influence with the members of the Church over which I preside to have them do likewise.”

And no this does not mean we are trying to “Bring it back”.

Do some homework before you post slander about a religion /Rant

Wow, a God who changes his mind and, allows man to dictate church policy based on the law (mans).
