Mormon Stories News examined an LDS Church attorney's response to claims about the ongoing trademark lawsuit against Mormon Stories Podcast. The video, hosted by John Dehlin and Meggan Watterson, also covered new Pew data on Mormon retention rates, the Church's opposition to Idaho Proposition 1, and questions about BYU employment practices.
The video has drawn 5,381 views in two hours (~3,174 per hour) with 23 comments. The lawsuit involves the Church's trademark claims over the term "Mormon Stories." The attorney's comments were apparently made on another channel and are being analyzed here.
Other topics in the episode included retention statistics and the Church's position on an Idaho abortion ballot measure.
