Of course. No problem. The foundation already exists:
Gary could justify having an active wife in the “cloud” as well as marrying a virgin or several virgins according to the Lord/Old Testament reasoning (LDS Doctrine and Covenants Section 132) and therefore solidify total control over the church, maintaining his income as well as having good sex. It’s all a part of tailor-made revelations for those at the top.
