Ko e hā ha ngaahi fakamoʻoni ki hono moʻoni mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná?
Hili pē ha taimi nounou mei hono pulusi ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi Māʻasi ʻo e 1830, naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa ke ne fokotuʻu e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi kuo toe fakafoki maí. Naʻe kamata ke fakatau atu ʻe he kau faifekaú e ngaahi tatau ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi heʻenau fonongá. Naʻe kamata ke fuʻu ʻaonga lahi e tohí ki hono tānaki ʻo e kakaí ki he Siasí.
ʻI he taʻu tatau pē naʻe pulusi ai e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe ha kiʻi talavou ko Paʻale P. Pālati hano ueʻi fakalaumālie ia ke fakatau atu hono faama ʻi ʻOhaioó kae lava ke ne malangaʻi e Tohi Tapú. Hili pē ha taimi nounou mei hono fakatau atu ʻo e fāmá, naʻe fononga fakahahake ʻa Paʻale mo hono uaifi ko Fakafetaʻí. ʻI heʻena fakaofi atu ki Palemaila, Niu ʻIoké, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Paʻale naʻe ueʻi ia ke ne hifo mei he vaká. Naʻá ne hifo leva kae hoko atu ʻe Fakafetaʻi ʻena fonongá. Naʻe lue leva ʻa Paʻale ʻi ha maile ʻe 10 ki he ʻapi ʻo ha tīkoni [ʻi he siasi] Papitaiso. Naʻe fakamatala ange ʻe he tīkoní fekauʻaki mo ha tohi naʻá ne maʻu naʻe liliu mei ha ʻū lauʻi peleti koula. Naʻe lekooti ʻe Paʻale kimui ange e meʻá ni:
Naʻá ku fakaava [e Tohi ʻa Molomoná] ʻi he loto-vēkeveke, pea lau hono peesi talamuʻakí. Hili iá peá u lau leva e fakamoʻoni ʻa ha kau fakamoʻoni fekauʻaki mo e founga hono maʻú pea mo hono liliú. Hili ʻení naʻá ku kamata ke ako e kakano ʻo e tohí. Naʻá ku lau ʻi he ʻahó kakato; naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu mahuʻinga ʻa e kaí, naʻe ʻikai ke u fie kai; naʻe ʻikai ke mahuʻinga ʻa e mohé ʻi heʻene poʻulí, he naʻá ku saiʻia ange ʻi he laukongá ʻi he mohé.
ʻI heʻeku laukongá, ne u maʻu e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí, pea ne u ʻiloʻi mo mahino kiate au ʻoku moʻoni e tohí, ʻo tatau tofu pē mo e mahinongofua ki ha tangata ʻokú ne moʻui. (Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt, ed. Parley P. Pratt Jr. [1938], 37)
Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo e Siasí, kuo ʻiloʻi ʻe ha kakai ʻe lauimiliona e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻaki ʻa Paʻale ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní he pō ko iá—ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Ko ha folofola ia ʻa e ʻOtuá.
ʻI hono fakakakato ʻe Siosefa Sāmita hono liliu ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi Sune ʻo e 1829, naʻe fakamoʻoni e ʻEikí Tonu ki hono moʻoní.

Lolotonga ʻenau aleaʻi ha ngaahi kaveinga kehekehé, naʻe akoʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa hono mahuʻinga ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻo pehē:

(Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 73)

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá:

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoni e founga ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ‘o ʻetau tui fakalotú:
ʻOku ʻi ai ha founga ʻe tolu ʻoku hoko ai e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ʻo ʻetau tui fakalotú. Ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ia ʻo ʻetau fakamoʻoni kia Kalaisí. Ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ia ʻo ʻetau tokāteliné. Ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ia ʻo e fakamoʻoní.
