Dallin Oaks Appointed as New Leader of the Mormon Church

Dallin H. Oaks, a former Utah Supreme Court justice, has been named the new president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints following the death of Russell M. Nelson, marking a significant leadership transition for the church. Oaks, known for his traditionalist views and legal background, will serve until his death and is expected to influence the church's focus, possibly shifting from its global expansion to domestic issues, while maintaining core doctrines.
