Another 'authorized' journalist*

h/t WND - Headline at the UK Telegraph is about polygamy in TX:

Court case sheds light on Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, where it is alleged that bigamy and sexual abuse of girls, some as young as 12, are widespread. [emphasis added]

I know that marrying off 12 year olds is pretty distasteful, but probably should not be illegal. My faith is what it is, and those folks' faith is what it is .... who am I (or the state) to judge?

But 22 paragraphs later, you find this admission:

The church also practices "placement marriage" - with the church leader, who has the status of prophet, assigning females to husbands. Traditionally, this has involved marrying off girls as young as 12, although the church stated last year that it would end the practice of child brides.

So you allege the church members of doing something, that later in the article you admit they've stopped doing already?

Seems like someone has an agenda now, doesn't it?!
