Question: Does the "White Horse Prophecy" imply that "Mormons" encourage support for some candidates over others?
The Church has disavowed any belief in the validity of the so-called White Horse prophecy
The Church has disavowed any belief in the validity of the so-called White Horse prophecy, and the prophecy's authenticity is suspicious on numerous historical grounds.
In December 2009, Church Public Affairs released a statement which read:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is politically neutral and does not endorse or promote any candidate, party or platform. Accordingly, we hope that the campaign practices of political candidates would not suggest that their candidacy is supported by or connected to the church.
"The so-called 'White Horse Prophecy' is based on accounts that have not been substantiated by historical research and is not embraced as Church doctrine. [1]
