Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we begin with a development in the Wade Christofferson Abuse Allegations, specifically the Church’s official response regarding the brother of apostle D. Todd Christofferson. We’ll walk through what the Church said, what it didn’t say, and why the situation is drawing attention both inside and outside Mormon circles. We’ll also cover several other stories making headlines this week. The Ruby Franke / Jodi Hildebrandt case made news this week as new developments raise fresh questions about accountability and child protection in Utah. A new book on Eliza R. Snow is drawing interest among LDS historians and believers alike.

Meanwhile, BYU is dealing with their admissions mistake, and we have the news on how they are meeting the moment. And finally, we’ll dig into the bigger cultural moment Mormonism seems to be having right now. One story asks whether the Church is truly encouraging members to face difficult history, while another suggests members should be careful not to question prophetic authority too closely. We’ll also cover Utah making Good Friday a state holiday, a case of meetinghouse vandalism, and a brand-new Quorum of the Fifteen photo op that has people talking. Join us live as we break down the stories, add context, and explore what it all means.
