I understand why it's said.
I have no problem if historians want to flesh out the history. By all means. I also have no problem if the church resists it. By all means.

But I see no reason for the church to say any more on the topic than it already has. As far as our doctrine and policies go, the issue is history. It's not our fault if others are unable to let it go.
