Governor Cox: Defender of the LDS Cult’s Cash Cow As Harvard faces scrutiny for its tax-exempt billions. Utah’s governor leaps to protect a far wealthier empire—his beloved Mormon cult.

The hypocrisy is staggering. The same cult that demands tithing from the poor hides behind tax exemptions when it comes to its own massive wealth.

But Jesus? He didn’t play that game.

“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.” — Matthew 22:21

Jesus didn’t sue the Roman Empire. He didn’t file for 501(c)(3) status. He didn’t call his sermons “spiritual consulting” and funnel the proceeds into a diversified real estate portfolio.

Here’s the situation: unless you’re directly involved in the case, you’re not allowed in. No curious public, no reporters, and not even attorneys stopping by to observe. Seriously, what’s this judge hiding? Justice isn’t some private VIP club—it’s supposed to be for everyone. This rule tramples one of the most basic tenets of justice: it’s not enough for justice to be done; it must be seen to be done.
