The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints takes issue with The Boston Globe on their 19 October 2006 story suggesting the Church is institutionally supporting a political campaign.

The Church issued the following statement in response:

�In light of articles appearing in the media, we reaffirm the position of neutrality taken by the Church, and affirm the long-standing policy that no member occupying an official position in any organization of the Church is authorized to speak in behalf of the Church concerning the Church�s stand on political issues."
