Priestcraft in government and politics

Post by norgaards »

Most statements from the general authorities ties religion with government when defining priestcraft in government. President Ezra Taft Benson, however, called godless communism for an image of Lucifer's plan in pre-mortality and the worst form of priestcraft. If that is true, priestcraft in politics is really a secret combination, that most don't recognize.

I hasn't been able to find much on this subject online. Does anybody know of things written on priestcraft in government or politics?

Thanks
John

I strongly recommend you read the books written by Elder H. Verlan Andersen, starting with, "The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil" and "Many Are Called but Few Are Chosen."

I'm pretty sure the following David O. McKay quote is in one of Elder Andersen's books. On the Church's website too:

"That revelation, given by the Lord to the Prophet Joseph Smith, is one of the most beautiful lessons in pedagogy or psychology and government ever given, and we should read it over and over again in the 121st section of the Doctrine and Covenants." (close quote)

Every politician, especially the current gaggle of narcissists and warmongers, should be measured against Section 121.
