than the talk of an apostle?

Meaning, if you sign a petition protesting the Beck talk, are you less likely to be disciplined (probation, excommunication) than if you had signed a petition protesting the talk of an apostle?

I think the answer is "yes", because the women speakers are not taken nearly as seriously by members of the church from the very top to the very bottom.

It can be argued that no priesthood = no authority. Whether it is overtly admitted, or subconsciously accepted.

I can't say that this is ideal or that I like it. But it appears to be the state of affairs.
