In light of this post by homeboy, what the heck does that question mean?

"Issues on which The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has felt compelled to take a firm stand include civil rights, MX missile testing in Utah, same-gender marriages, pornography, gambling and Utah alcohol laws.

The Church does not extend reprimands or ecclesiastical punishment to persons who choose not to support its views on these issues."

That's pretty sad. Good to see that the guy is handling is well, though.

I don't understand how this works.

First of all, what is a "group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints"?

Next, define "sympathize with the precepts of any such group or individual."

I'm interested in all your ideas.
