I've read this story a couple of times butt can't remember title or author either. No hits I could pick out of multiple returns on an advanced word search either. I do remember that aliens were involved in accidentally giving the MC healing powers. It's possible it was removed from SOL by the author.
It sounds like wordytom's Enchanted Outhouse.
Fantasy wordytom A guy went into an old outhouse to take a dump and came out able to heal plants, animals and people by the touch of his hand. Everything and everyone seemed to conspire against him

The Enchanted Outhouse on FS it is! Thanks everyone for finding it. Yes looks like it's not on SOL anymore
I had searched both SOL and FS by tagword "magic" and FS category "Aliens" unfortunately neither word was in the tags lol
Mormons killed a shitload of people in the 1800s
and other people killed many shitloads of Mormons as well as robbing them blind for decades before and during the period you mention.
So many people have used their religion to cause so much strife in other's lives, look at the Inquisition or even Afghanistan etal...

Exactly, like the groups of so called Christians who abused and killed the American Indians and Mexicans because they wouldn't change to their brand of Christianity as well as the many people of European descent who followed a different brand of Christianity like the Mormons and the Amish etc.

The Mormon religion was founded on the eastern seaboard in, IIRC, the state of New York. However, they faced so much hostility from others that they were forced to band together and basically fight a war in order to escape to what became the territory of Utah.
Then because of continuing animus, when they became prosperous enough to become a state, Congress forced them to give up a lot of land with valuable resources in exchange for statehood.
It wasn't unusual for Territories to be sub divided in becoming states. However, that was mostly because the entire territory didn't reach the population thresholds that Congress was applying at that time. That Wasn't the case with Utah.

Close, but not quite. The Mormons started in Upstate New York, moved to Ohio and Missouri where the locals started a war to kill the Mormons or force them out of their farms and businesses. When they were chased out so they moved to unwanted swampland that was seen as unproductive in Illinois where they made the land productive where some of their leaders were arrested on trumped up charges and a few were murdered while in the jail. They then moved to what was to become the Utah Territory to be the first settlers in the Great Salt Valley in 1847 so they could avoid other settlers who might cause trouble like they did in New York, Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. In 1850 Utah became a territory after the Mormons petitioned the US Congress to create a new state called Deseret. When gold was found in the Utah Territory the Congress reorganized or moved the gold areas from Utah Territory to the neighboring states and territories. Due to continuing dislike of the Mormons the creation of Utah state was delayed until 1896, which was long after the states cut out of the original Utah Territory had been made states despite lower populations. It's another case of the basic bigotry against any differences in religions or cultures shown by the bulk of the US people and leaders during the 1800s.
During all the time prior to 1900 the Mormons were often harassed, attacked, and many killed by white bigots who disliked them for daring to be different to the bigots.

True, but I was going from memory, being too lazy to look it up.

so ya skipped a few details, is all. I had to check the order myself as I got the Missouri and Illinois events out of order in my memory.

There was more to it than that. They were forced to make a whole bunch of other concessions as well. The big one being outlawing polygamy.

Which happened in the mid 1890s and was the main thing the US Federal Government had against them, despite it being the standard stated in the Bible.
If you read accounts from young women who have rejected the opportunity to be the Nth wife for church elders, the decision of the Federal Government becomes something they were pretty much forced to do.
The ways of modern communication are different but the older methods also worked fairly well for the population they had, although they did take a lot longer.

In the 19th Century a lot of young women outside the Mormon church were forced into unwanted monogamous marriages. It's not something the Federal government would have been concerned about in 1890.
A big problem with the girls being forced into polygamous marriages by the FLDS today is that a lot of them are underage by modern standards.
Of course, in the late 19th Century, the age of consent in most US states was in the range of 10-12 with Delaware a standout at 7.
If the Mormon church in 1890 had been forcing 8-9 year old girls into marriage, the Feds might have made a fuss about it, but I've seen nothing that suggests anything like that happened.
Personally, I don't see any reason for a moral objection to polygamy as long as all the women go into it willingly and the family as a whole can support itself (another major problem in the FLDS).
As to the issue of girls being forced into it, as I said above, girls/women have been forced into both polygamous and monogamous marriages throughout human history. That's reason to use the force of law against people forcing women into marriage. It's not a valid reason for banning polygamy.

There's a huge difference between the FLDS and the LDS, about the same sort of difference you get between the Opus Dei and the general Roman Catholic population. In both the first is a small extremist group with some weird rules that are totally rejected by the general group.
The general LDS allows people to make personal decisions - male and female. However, you can't say the same for some of the other Christian groups, especially the extremist ones.

I am aware of this, and I clearly distinguished between the two.

The main issue against the LDS was the members of the US Government who were upstanding members of the Roman Catholic Church and the RCC was rabidly against polygamy despite what the Bible said because it violated a rule put in place by one of the Popes.

Agreed, but not relevant to the point I was addressing.
