LDS Church sues popular podcast host for having ‘Mormon’ in title

LDS Church Podcast Mormon The LDS Church
  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) is suing the podcast "Mormon Stories" for alleged intellectual property infringement.
  • The lawsuit claims the podcast's use of the name "Mormon," copyrighted images, and church branding creates confusion among listeners about its official affiliation.
  • John Dehlin, the host of "Mormon Stories," was excommunicated from the LDS Church in 2015 for apostasy, and he believes this clarifies the podcast's independent status.
  • The LDS Church states the lawsuit aims to prevent public confusion regarding its endorsement, not to suppress the podcast's critical content.
  • This legal action aligns with the LDS Church's broader efforts to police the term "Mormon" and its 2018 initiative to discourage the word's use.
