Both claim the Church is the most prosperous American religion, with Time estimating $5.2 billion in tithes during 1996. The Church has holdings in real estate, as well as for-profit businesses managed through Deseret Management Corporation. Time estimated assets in 1996 at more than $30 billion.

| | | | | Aaronic Priesthood: Encyclopedia II - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Criticism and Controversy Main article: Controversies regarding The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Many doctrines and practices of the church, both past and present, are viewed by many as controversial:
The church's claim to be the exclusive restoration of the church founded by Jesus Christ and the sole source of priesthood authority necessary for ordinances of salvation (such as baptism). This has led to extensive criticism from Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox Christians, some of which label it a "cult", "sect," or "heresy" ...

Members of the church — known as Latter-day Saints — believe their faith to be the divinely appointed, restoration of the church established by Jesus Christ as depicted in the New Testament. They believe that following the crucifixion of Jesus and the death of his apostles, the authentic Christian church and its authority rapidly began to disappear, leading ultima ...

It was also referred to as the "Church of Latter Day Saints" to differentiate the church of this era from that of the New Testament, and was generally known by that name between 1834 and 1838.

Joseph Smith Jr. - After Smith's death.
Smith's death created a crisis. Their charismatic founder was dead and their hierarchy was scattered on missionary efforts and in support of Smith's presidential campaign. Historian D. Michael Quinn quotes Brigham Young's initial concern after Smith's murder: "The first thing which I thought of was, whether Joseph had taken the keys of the kingdom with him from the earth." Without "the keys of the kingdom", that is, the appropriate Priesthood authority, Young recognized the possibility t ...

This "awakening" was a Christian response to the secularism of the Age of Enlightenment, and extended throughout the United States, particularly the frontier areas of the west.
A significant early event in this Second Great Awakening was a large camp meeting that took place in 1801 at Cane Ridge, Kentucky, in which participant ...
