Gerald Causse Joins LDS Quorum of Apostles
Gerald Causse, originally from France and former presiding bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has been appointed to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. His ten years of leadership significantly influenced the church’s worldwide financial structure and growth.
Throughout his tenure, Causse oversaw initiatives related to temple construction, global expansion, and responsible management of the church’s reported $58 billion investment portfolio.
“The church aims at slower temple growth and emphasizes financial secrecy.”
Beyond church affairs, recent events have captured global attention: Zarine Khan, wife of actor Sanjay Khan, passed away with final rites observed on Friday. Meanwhile, Typhoon Kalmaegi struck Vietnam, resulting in five fatalities and widespread destruction.
