Defending the restored church of Christ - I created this blog back in 2013 to provide an alternative to what I saw at the time as a lot of bad "Mormon blogs" that were floating around the web. I originally named it "Mormon Village" but after Pres. Nelson asked members to not use the name Mormon as much I changed it to LatterDayTemplar. Also, it was my goal to collect and share a plethora of positive and useful information about what I steadfastly believe to be Christ's restored church. It has been incredibly enjoyable and I hope you find the information worthwhile.

Does the LDS church have a policy about going to bullfights?

I only ask the question because honestly I don't know. I went on my mission to Chile where bullfights are not held so it wasn't an issue.

However in France, Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru bullfights are held and are still quite popular especially in Spain, France, and Mexico. So I wondered what the church's policy is, if any, in those countries.

Are the missionaries forbidden from going to a bullfight?

(I have a friend that went to Rome on his mission and they were allowed to go to one professional soccer game during their mission.)

Is it an issue for members in those countries?

If you have any information leave me a comment. I would love to know. (I did a Google search on the subject but came back with nothing.)

Thanks.
