“It is the fault of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that people still refer to the church as “Mormon” or “LDS” as these names, at one time, were used by the church itself. However, the church has never been referred to as “The Church of Latter-day Saints” by any one but the most uninformed and unprofessional. The use of this name is incorrect, and unfair and beneath a professional journalist, or less so, a podcaster. Serious journalist know that most style guides have been asked to stop using the nickname Mormon or LDS when reporting on the church. It is and always has been The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus Christ is the center of the church and leaving His name out of the church’s name when reporting on the religion is plain disrespectful.”
