Or, he could whole-heartedly agree with her and bring down the boom on the bishop. This could create resentment in the bishop for Requieum and these members, further widening the rift between him and those he is supposed to be serving.

Or, the stake president could agree, delicately speak with the bishop about it, the bishop could humble himself and admit his error, and all is well in Zion.

There's no way for any of us CGers to know these men or how they will react. The risk, IMO, is not worth the possible negative outcomes, given that all we are talking about is an intermediate hymn.

Oh ye of little faith. You don't think the SP will try and use the Lord's will?
