The new apostle for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taken his seat at the table. Gerald Caussé spent his life in corporate business before his call to the Presiding Bishopric in 2012. In 2015 he ascended to Presiding Bishop and has been the money manager of the church since then. During his tenure, numerous scandals have hit the church related to finances, including a fine from the SEC for falsifying business records to conceal wealth. In the wake of these numerous scandals, Gerald takes his position on the board of the wealthiest religion on the planet. Let's discuss! After that we chat about Catch Me If You Can, a movie about a con man starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks that does a great job of concealing the truth. Then we have happy news about pain management medications and promising research in that field.   Show Notes:  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-07-18/how-the-mormons-make-money?embedded-checkout=true https://religionnews.com/2025/11/07/im-cautiously-optimistic-about-the-new-lds-apostle/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHqt-k5lbrQhddAne7du47HHB6Gfpstoh_gnkML4Mjyb2cciCqUeR9lh0geUR_aem_j1UGWxzM9qQmQJTCjHRRfg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9rald_Causs%C3%A9 https://www.deseret.com/faith/2020/2/14/21133740/mormon-church-finances-billions-presiding-bishopric-ensign-peak-tithing-donations-byu-real-estate/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_E._Stevenson https://archive.ph/20130102082820/http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695267801,00.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXbPxIHkijg https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/gerald-j-causse?lang=eng https://speeches.byu.edu/speakers/gerald-causse/ https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/4636873Z:FP?embedded-checkout=true https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/08/16/lds-churchs-ensign-peak-reports/ https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/feds-fine-mormon-church-5-million https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-35 https://ldsflow.com/the-lds-church-a-year-of-global-service-and-impact-w-infographic/ https://doctorow.medium.com/the-mormon-church-owns-the-most-valuable-property-portfolio-in-america-ff590d405dd6 https://www.livescience.com/18094-perceptions-mormonism-americans-infographic.html https://exploringmormonism.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Corporate-structure-image-400.jpg https://www.reddit.com/r/mormon/comments/8nwznm/breakdown_of_the_humanitarian_aid_vs_church/ https://mormonfamily.net/2666/mormons-in-america https://mormonwiki.com/Farms_Owned_By_The_Mormon_Church https://mormonwiki.com/Farmland_Reserve https://github.com/jsoma/data-studio-projects/issues/287 https://mormonbillions.com/ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/feature/templesquare/dining?lang=eng https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=54478720&itype=cmsid https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/first-presidency-statement-church-finances https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/church-donations-and-reserves?lang=eng https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-finances-and-a-growing-global-church https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/church-financial-independence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires https://www.brookings.edu/articles/mitt-romneys-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-campaign/ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/keith-b-mcmullin?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/church/leader/keith-b-mcmullin?lang=eng https://www.polynesia.com/packages?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19311784&gbraid=0AAAAAD_ZKoaNHFjLk9c46VTzwjPJppfQq&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoZDJBhC0ARIsAERP-F_GnjI9U3f9gVGjpeQI6kspteXwPXuh-5JdDFi3aiUVpxghq9HZMZgaAnBREALw_wcB https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/8n8dd3/mormonleaks_has_uncovered_13_llcs_limited/   MOGP: Catch Me If You Can: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264464/?ref_=ttpl_ov_bk  Where it's streaming: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/catch-me-if-you-can  Books:  The Greatest Hoax on Earth – Catching Truth, While We Can, by Alan C Logan  Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake, by Frank W.
