These are stated as beliefs, not as immutable truths. Note that.

Seattle I think you understand the difference between policy and doctrine, but are just trolling. And yes there have been more LDS changes than those I mentioned, hence my use of "such as."
But you cannot put teaching that unbaptized infants are put in limbo on the same plane as establishing a perpetual education fund or raising a missionary bar. Today's change to Catholic doctrine is the equivalent of Mormons saying there no longer a division in the spirit world. Policy and doctrine are distinguishable and you know it. |

The articles of faith are the LDS church core doctrines. Other doctrine like baptism for the dead....endowments are a subset of the core doctrines
