Recent LDS leader McConkie argued Mormons should not worship Jesus, only the Father — revealing internal tension over polytheistic implications.

Why Mormons and Christians Can't Understand Each Other 00:18:03 – 00:18:34

Mike notes an internal LDS controversy where a leader tried to resolve the polytheism problem by restricting worship to the Father alone.

Mike references McConkie (a recent LDS leader) who said 'we don't worship Jesus, we only worship the Father' — but other LDS content affirms Jesus-worship. This internal conflict represents an attempt to avoid the 'polytheism' accusation but is inconsistent with broader LDS practice and teaching.
