Late last week, news outlets began reporting that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had issued a statement distancing itself from Tim Ballard, the founder of Operation Underground Railroad, which uses quasi-military sting operations to combat the sexual exploitation of children. The organization was celebrated in the recent movie “Sound of Freedom.”

The “Sound of Freedom” — a movie based on the true story of rescuing children from child sex trafficking — has stirred inspiration, conversation and controversy since its July 4th release.
