Frequently Latter-day Saints receive email messages with faith-promoting stories that are difficult or impossible to verify. This article addresses one of these "urban legends."

Rome Italy Temple and California Prop 8

An e-mail circulating has claimed that Catholic support for a Rome Italy temple is very high because of LDS efforts around California Prop 8.

The claim as circulated is false. Church counsel in Europe stated:

Please keep in mind that our efforts to obtain the necessary building permissions within the Rome City Administration have not come to full fruition and remain at a delicate stage. Consequently, we need to be cautious and judicious when we discuss what is happening there and should take care not to spread incorrect information.[1]

More information is available in a bulletin from Church Educational System cited below.
