What is the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?

• The Mormon church, officially called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was founded in the US by Joseph Smith in 1830 and now has 14m members

• Mormons believe their church is a restoration of the Church as conceived by Jesus and that the other Christian churches have gone astray

• The FLDS split from mainstream Mormonism after it banned polygamy in 1890 amid increasingly punitive laws

• Its members see polygamy as necessary for reaping maximum reward in the afterlife

• Former FLDS President Warren Jeffs was jailed in 2011 for sexually assaulting two children he took as brides

Who are the Mormons?
