Episode 117 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS asks the question: is it Consecrated Cash or Latter Day Lucre? In recent news, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (known colloquially as The Mormon Church or The LDS Church) has been accused of amassing more than $100 Billion in wealth and not using it for charity...or for anything, for that matter. Further, the Church was accused of evading taxes. We will talk about the investigation into this case and the investigation's results. We will also ask the question if churches should continue to receive tax exempt status, and why they presently do. We will also share what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does with its money and how it acquires it, and why there is a large reserve.
BEDTIME STORIES FROM THE ACOUSTIC BOOKSHELF concludes today's broadcast with the poem, "Your Portrait", by Eliza R. Snow.
