Question: Did Gordon B. Hinckley claim that polygamy was "not doctrinal" on Larry King Live?
Hinckley said that he condemned polygamy as a practice because he thought that it was not doctrinal
Gordon B. Hinckley made the following statement on Larry King Live on September 8, 1998 with regard to the practice of polygamy:
I condemn it [polygamy], yes, as a practice, because I think it is not doctrinal. It is not legal. And this church takes the position that we will abide by the law. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, magistrates in honoring, obeying and sustaining the law.
