Mormonism's Heavenly Mother has a lot in common with Idirigay.
-Emphasis on motherhood
-God is actually and man and a woman, not a nebulous "one."

Critique of Mormonism's Heavenly Mother by Melody Moench Charles:
- Heavenly Mother is not equal with Heavenly Father
- Second to her husband in everything
- Second to her son in many things.
- Has no identity without her husband
- Nameless, faceless, no function

Mormon feminists fall in two camps:
Oppositional (Toscanos and gang) - Church is oppressing and silencing theology about Heavenly Mother

Apologetic - Despite shortcomings, Church mostly right about Heavenly Mother
