More temples means more money for the church as no doubt there are more than enough stupid people in the world to fill every church, temple, mosque and synagogue that can possibly be built. And yet it is said that humans are an intelligent species?*&%#@? TGO

At Utah conference, Mormon church president announces plans to build 5 new temples worldwide
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church plans to build five new temples in the United States and abroad.
The temples will be built in Hartford, Conn.; Indianapolis; Tijuana, Mexico; Urdaneta, Philippines; and Lisbon, Portugal. The new temples will be the first for the church in Connecticut, Indiana and Portugal.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints already has 134 temples operating worldwide, most in the U.S. Another 16 temples are either planned or already under construction.
LDS president Thomas S. Monson announced the plan last Saturday during the opening session of the church’s two-day semiannual general conference in Salt Lake City.
Only Mormons in good standing in the church can enter LDS temples, where members carry out their most sacred rites.
The church has nearly 14 million members worldwide.
