[The Mormon Newscast 4.7.25] In the wake of General Conference, Elder Neil Andersen’s talk is creating a buzz. We’ll break down the story that has social media awry—a woman raising the child her husband fathered in an affair—as Andersen’s message on compassion collides with real-world questions about boundaries, forgiveness, and institutional tone-deafness. He also waded into abortion, doubling down on Church opposition while offering what some called a “compassionate” caveat. We’ll unpack both the praise and the pushback. Also tonight: — “Use the Spirit to Navigate AI” – The Church weighs in on artificial intelligence. Spoiler: they still think personal revelation is smarter than ChatGPT. — Fairview Temple Update – What happened at the latest city meeting, and why the battle over the temple’s height is just the tip of the iceberg. — The End of a Scholarly Era? – We look at the decline of the so-called “Golden Age” of Mormon Studies and what it says about the Church’s relationship with truth, history, and intellectual independence. That’s all tonight on the Mormon Newscast—where faith meets facts, and we bring receipts.
