HILL CUMORAH, Manchester, Ny – Mormonism’s most famous Cumom has made his prediction.

On Friday morning, as crowds gathered around, Pioneer Phil saw his shadow and predicted six more millennia of patriarchy.

Legend has it if a furry/scaly/feathery animal casts a shadow on Cumom Day, Feb. 2, expect six more millennia of patriarchy. If not, expect the Second Coming.

In reality, Phil’s prediction is decided ahead of time by the suits in the Church Office Building on Temple Square, a tall and spacious building in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Records dating to 1830 show Phil predicting more patriarchy 140 times while forecasting an early Millennium just 31 times. No records exist for the remaining years.

It’s no secret that our church is built for men, specifically married men, designed to serve their needs and reinforce their authority. By contrast, the only way for a woman to have any semblance of power is to be power-adjacent. To be an influence, an auxiliary, a wife. The church limits itself by holding onto patriarchy with tight, stubborn fists. The lack of diversity in our leadership creates an echo chamber of ideas and perspectives. Problems surrounding inequality--instead of being met with real solutions--become frustrated, circular. Could this be what God wants? For an entire gender to remain stunted, voiceless?
Ultimately, if we really want our children to be strong individuals who choose for themselves, patriarchal blessings disrupt this process. In many ways, they serve as a safeguard against choice. I often find myself asking why God needs so many intermediaries to speak with us. Why is God's voice filtered so often through men? I would rather my children learn to listen to the spirit and speak to God directly for promptings and revelation.
