• LDS Church to Legislature: Malt beverages should not be on grocery shelves

The politically powerful LDS Church has told state lawmakers it favors the controversial proposal to take flavored malt beverages off grocery store shelves.     Church spokesman Mark Tuttle said Thursday that leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints support Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and the state's alcohol-control board's position "that the sale of distilled spirits - including so-called alcopops - should be restricted to state liquor stores.

Of course they did--they don't allow alcohol consumption, even in Communion.
