My great-grandfather was a Mormon pioneer and polygamist. The doctrine of polygamy has not been abandoned. The keys to this sacrament were taken back after the church's due diligence in accordance with the 11th article of faith. In compliance with the 12th article of faith, and the knowledge that the sacrament is not essential to salvation, submission to the law of the land was in order. The church sought all of its legal challenges to the prohibition on polygamy before submitting, and after the then President of the church received revelatory experiences and confirmation from the Lord. "At that time conditions were such that the Lord by revelation withdrew the command to continue the practice, and President Wilford Woodruff issued the Manifesto directing that it cease." (Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, pp. 213-218.)
