maintain the integrity of trademarks and copyrights

My office has received questions and comments from
the public regarding materials on the “Mormon Stories”, YouTube page, and other social media pages that feature Church
trademarks and copyrights. While the Church respects
your right to host a podcast, operate a website, and
maintain an online brand, the Church has an obligation
to protect its trademarks as unique identifiers to prevent
confusion about what is and isn't official Church
content.
For example, the “Mormon Stories” name and logo
(shown below) incorporate Church trademarks including
the word “Mormon” and a “light-rays” design, both of
which are registered trademarks of the Church. The RY)
headers of your podcast’s YouTube
and Facebook pages similarly feature the Christus logo

Feeling terrified that the LDS church wants
to use lawfare to shut down Mormon Stories Podcast via
trademark claims after we've been in operation for 20
years. Please help me find an IP expert if you can.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ojbvkmndmokzfl5prnketooi/bafkreichmbq5r77uc6hhhe73smpuuji2eruylir2bbke5hgbr3o5vhmjk4@jpeg)
