Yeah we did. Pelagius was patronizing you a few times through this and you never did catch it.
Just messin with ya, MW. This was a good thread. I have some thoughts on your definition of racism. I think I like it, but I'm not sure. Need to mull it over. I'll come back to it later. |

I fully agree with your bottom line. I also think, if my memory above is correct, that it's been disavowed at that lower level (church spokesman). I'm wondering if perhaps this occurred when the LA times broke their story that you mentioned in your original post. |

There are many notions of what God allows, how God may communicate, how fallible religious leaders, and what religious leaders communicate.
And that is what this whole "blacks and the priesthood" dredges up, and that is why it is dangerous, and that is why IT IS NOT ADDRESSED. It could be argued that the GAs do not trust the members with the truth. The more dangerous argument is that they do not trust themselves. |

Which brings into full focus the gravity of the mantle of the prophet. Even for a man with Monson's experience, one wonders if there is some amount of trepidation. |
