New Apostle Appointed in Latter-day Saints

Gérald Caussé, a sixty-two-year-old Frenchman, was appointed as the newest apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, joining the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. This role places him in the line of succession for the church presidency and follows his tenure as presiding bishop, during which the church increased humanitarian spending and expanded its global presence. Caussés appointment comes after the passing of President Russell M. Nelson and the appointment of Dallin H. Oaks as the new president, who announced a slowdown in new temple announcements. The church, valued at fifty-eight billion dollars, has diverse business holdings, including real estate, farms, publishing, and a shopping mall. Caussé is the third European member of the Quorum of the Twelve, typically consisting of older men with successful careers outside the church. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
