| | Wilford Woodruff as President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles directed the affairs of the Church on the basis of that position until 1889. | | | Upon the death of the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the senior apostle in the Church´s governing quorums (see First Presidency; Quorum of the Twelve Apostles) becomes presiding officer of the Church (see President of the Church). | | | Inherent in the Twelve´s proposal was the assumption that, although the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles had equal authority and power with the Quorum of the First Presidency, as long as the First Presidency was intact and functioning, they, and not the Twelve, possess the necessary jurisdiction to govern the Church. |

| | The Twelve Apostles in Mormonism—Part Two |
| | New Apostles are chosen to replace those who moved into the First Presidency which means that there are usually 15 living men who have been ordained to the LDS "Quorum of Twelve Apostles." Mormons claim that Peter, James and John made up the original First Presidency in the first century. | | | The Twelve Apostles, like the President of the LDS Church hold their offices until they die, unless they are called into the First Presidency. | | | Nor does it support their claim that they have a Quorum of Twelve Apostles which shows that they are the true church. |

| | In May 1835 an official church council voted that the Quorum of Twelve Apostles and First Council of Seventy "have particularly to depend upon their ministry for their support, and that of their families; and they have a right, by virtue of their offices, to call upon the churches to assist them." | | | In November 1841 the Quorum of the Twelve made the first liberalization of the 1838 tithing revelation: the initial donation was reduced to only "one-tenth of all a man [possesses, and] 1/10 of increas[e]" afterwards. | | | In 1890 the monthly allowances of the Quorum of the Twelve and Presiding Bishop were identical, with the counselors in the First Presidency receiving $50 more a month and the church president receiving another $100 monthly. |
