Huh? Don't you read the newspapers? While it is true that the mainstream LDS 
church has given up nonmonogamous marriages since the admission of Utah to the 
Union, there are many people who consider themselves "Mormons," mostly living 
in the Western states, who enter into more than one marriage at a time, they 
just do it clandestinely. As I understand it, however, these marriages get no 
support whatsoever from the Church, and there is no apparent movement of any 
kind to change the present official policy.
