Purported remarks by Elder Bednar on Persecution to follow Mitt Romney's nomination
AUTHOR'S CLAIM
An e-mail circulating has claimed that Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve warned of persecution to follow Mitt Romney's nomination as Republican candidate for President of the United States in 2012.
Answer
The claim is false. A bulletin from Church Education System stated:
- The following statements are being attributed to Elder David A. Bednar about what he purportedly said would happen if Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination:
- That persecution to the Church would increase and be more intense than any yet experienced in our lifetime.
- That sacred elements of the Church would be disparaged.
- That our testimonies would be tested.
- These statements are distorted and inaccurate and should not be used, repeated, or passed on to others. Kindly inform those who use them or send them to you that they are spurious[1]
