The Fifth Estate Season 48 Episode 5 – The Mormon’s Books: Synopsis

Since the first five episodes of The Fifth Estate season 48 have already aired on the CBC television network, fans and viewers around the world can’t wait to watch the next episode. Although the episodes of the show are not interlinked, in case you missed watching the last episode, here is all you need to know about the 5th episode of The Fifth Estate.

The episode titled ‘The Mormons Books’ was aired in Canada and the USA on 27 October 2022. The Mormons Books feature the story of the Mormon church in Canada. The church raised around $1 billion for charity and religious purposes. However, it was later found that the money had gone elsewhere, and no one in Canada received any benefit from the money that the church raised.

The Fifth Estate’s investigations discovered that the funds were not used for charitable purposes but were instead sent to the US. The church’s income was tax-free because it was stated that the funds would be used for charitable purposes. The Mormon Church in Canada has already sent more than $100 million to Brigham Young University, claiming they want to support students studying at this university.

As the Mormons Church was found transferring money to the university based in the USA, seemingly the cost of each dollar donated was burdened on the Canadian taxpayers and the Canadian Treasury. Although the money used was not for any illegal purposes, it was legal for the church.

When the church members who were donating the money learned that the money was being transferred to the university in the USA, they became furious, protested, and left the church because they thought the money should have been used for building temples and promoting religion.

The money made through tithing should be used for charitable causes, including healthcare, education, and other endeavors that help Canada advance effectively. However, this was not the case, as was found when the church’s financial records were examined.
