This update is very much overdue, and I apoligize for the delay. You likely heard this news a while ago, but I wanted to make sure there was an update here.
No charges weresought against the Mormon missionaries from the Colorado Colorado Springs Mission who posted pictures of themselves online disrespecting a Catholic shrine in Colorado. The local parish in San Luis responsible for the shrine had voted to seek charges, but reversed their decision after receiving an Easter letter from Bishop Tafoya urging forgiveness. He wrote,
“. . . we as Catholics, who believe in the forgiveness of Christ, will ourselves forgive, and pray for the young men who showed such a lack of tolerance and understanding.”
It should be noted that these missionaries, two of which were already home when the pictures were discovered, and one who was sent home upon the discovery, still face or have already faced discipline from The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints.
