David O. McKay book....

[UtahDan]

So I bought the book (through here of course) and it is facinating. One thing I wanted to throw out there was the apparently widely held belief amoung the brethren that the Catholic Church was/is the great and abominable church.

I know that we have backed away from that position, to the extent that it was ever taken publically outside of McConkie's masterpiece of errors "Mormon Doctrine."

My question is, has this ever been addressed directly, that is, do we have a statement with the impremature of authority where that idea has been repudiated? Or have we simplty de-emphasized it?

I have enjoyed the book so far. Does anyone else come away seeing McConkie as a little bit of a villain, or am I bringing my own personal bias to this?

Discuss. :-)
