"While the LDS Church did not initially or exclusively invent heteropatriarchy, race, or empire, it has been informed by and entangled with them, as both a willing, and apprehensive participant in different contexts and moments. Lamanite masculinities must be explored at the structural level, which I have attempted to signal toward, in order to better understand the networks of Mormon masculinities’ complicated cohesion and divergence throughout the globe. Lamanite masculinities serve as both a physical geographic and ontological category of nonmen or other kinds of men who are promised redemption through annihilation, which gives meaning to White male supremacy’s formations of man within the church. The fallen Lamanite masculinity is a necessary condition for man’s existence as the ontological antagonism that gives meaning to Peter Priesthood’s self-proclaimed purity and righteousness as master leader, self-imbued with the exclusive authority and privilege of being human. There are surely much more nuanced specific settings and contexts of Mormon masculinities around the world. I am suggesting that those are better understood in relation to not only the White male Mormon masculinity of Peter Priesthood, but also to his subjects, Pedro and Pita’s Brown liminal Lamanite masculinity, who alongside other racialized and gendered formations not specifically interrogated here, gives normative Latter-day Saint masculinity its meaning."
