10 Best Meme Reactions to President Nelson’s Announcement
As you already know, President Nelson recently urged members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to no longer refer to themselves using their popular nickname, “Mormons.” The updated style guide for the name of the Church also discourages the press from using terms like “Mormonism,” and “LDS.”
The public had mixed reactions to the announcement. Many people across social media (even members) mocked the news. Others took it in stride but comedically acknowledged the difficulty of breaking the habit. Here are 10 of the best memes we could find that are worth looking at:
1. It really is a made-up nickname
