Mormon President
From ReformedWiki.org, the wiki for Reformed Christianity
The Mormon President, also called the Mormon Prophet or the Mormon Pope, is the title used to refer to the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The title was first applied to the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith, who had ambitions to become the president of the United States of America and reform it into a Mormon theocracy, but ultimately never achieved this.
The current Mormon President since 2018 is Russell Marion Nelson who recently celebrated his 100th birthday.
