After a statement from President Russell M. Nelson last week called for people to refer to the full name of the Church and refrain from using the term "Mormon," media outlets across the nation have claimed, "It can't be done." In response, President Nelson said, “I know it can’t — but it’s going to be, because the Lord wants it that way. . . . We know that it’s going to be a challenge to undo tradition of more than 100 years. And we don’t have all the answers. All we know is the Lord has said, ‘Thus shall my church be called …. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.' That’s enough for me.”
