Heaven's Helpline

Episode 6: Breaking the Shelf

Can the Mormon church be reformed? Murray meets campaigners inside and outside of the church who are pushing to change the way it handles sexual abusers. He asks: should the law be changed in New Zealand to force the church to do the right thing?    See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

How far has the Mormon church gone to cover up abuse? 
When journalist Murray Jones started looking into the church's finances in New Zealand, an intriguing Facebook post alerted him to a much bigger - and much darker - scandal.
From the NZ Herald, Heaven's Helpline is a six-part investigation into how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built a system that protects its wealth and reputation – and shields sexual predators from the law.
