Published On: Mon Dec 16 2024
Description: This video exposes a shocking case of abuse within the Mormon Church in Denmark, featuring former Bishop Lasse Meilsoe and journalist Michael Teschl. They discuss the Church’s mishandling of a rape case where a husband drugged and assaulted his wife, Kiran, over several years, confessing repeatedly to Church leaders. The Church’s actions to protect its image over victims, discouragement of reporting abuse to authorities, and their systemic prioritization of abusers are critically examined.Topics include Danish cultural responses, legal investigations into the Church’s practices, and the broader implications for Church transparency and accountability. A powerful and deeply unsettling look at abuse, complicity, and the fight for justice.Show NotesYouTube00:02:17 Church using the same cover-up techniques as in the States00:07:15 Lasse Meilsoe and Michael Teschl introduced00:13:50 Lack of attention to Mormon Church in Denmark00:17:40 How the abuse story came to light00:22:15 Church court for the abuser00:30:40 The abuser is sent home to continue marriage00:35:11 Abuser watches wife take sleeping pills00:41:10 Abuser’s role on the High Council00:46:00 Church threatens leaders who report abuse00:56:20 Detailed timeline of the abuse (6 years)01:01:00 Church’s four-page email response01:14:35 Church leaders deny knowledge of abuse01:20:55 Kiran divorces Peter01:28:50 Church knowingly keeps abuser in leadership01:34:11 Church's sole focus on self-preservation01:41:56 “The Church is more important than the members”01:49:40 Impact of the scandal on church activity rates in Denmark01:54:05 Is Bishop Meilsoe worried about excommunication?01:55:25 Closing remarksMormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today: One-time or recurring donation through Donorbox Support us on Patreon PayPal VenmoOur Platforms: YouTube Patreon Spotify Apple PodcastsContact us:MormonStories@gmail.comPO Box 171085, Salt Lake City, UT 84117Social Media: Insta: @mormstories TikTok: @mormonstoriespodcast Join the Discord
