Latest News About Mormonism

Here are the latest broad updates on Mormonism as of May 2026, with a quick overview and where to find the most authoritative coverage.

Direct answer

• The most current coverage centers on organizational temple developments, financial disclosures and governance, policy shifts within the LDS Church, and ongoing public interest stories about members and ex-members. For precise headlines, you’ll want to check major news outlets and the Church Newsroom’s own releases.

Key themes in recent coverage

• Temple news and renovations: Updates on temple renovations, open houses, and related scheduling have continued to attract attention, with official church communications providing dates and scope. This remains a regular focus of both church communications and secular reporting.[7][8]
• Financial and governance matters: Reports in late 2024 through 2025 highlighted investments, Ensign Peak-related discussions, and questions about church funds, often analyzed by independent media and ex-member communities.[2][3]
• Policy discussions and doctrinal changes: Media coverage has included shifts in teachings about historical practices (e.g., polygamy discussions) and how the church presents its history to members and the public. These topics frequently appear in Mormon-focused news roundups and ex-Mormon communities.[2]
• Public-interest and broader context: General-interest outlets periodically report on church events, leadership statements, and community responses, including open-house schedules, temple proposals, and notable court or legal matters connected to church institutions.[4][8]

Where to find authoritative, up-to-date information

• Church Newsroom (official): Regular press releases, feature stories, and official statements from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is the most authoritative source for church-generated news and context.[8][7]
• Major national and international outlets: CBS News, AP, Reuters, and other major outlets frequently cover significant events involving Mormon institutions, policy changes, and major happenings in Utah or across the membership.[4]
• Mormon-focused media and podcasts: Independent news roundups and podcasts (for example, “Mormon News Roundup” and similar outlets) provide weekly summaries and analysis, though it’s wise to cross-check with official sources for accuracy.[1][3][2]
