A few days ago, somebody I’ve known (and liked) for years (and who, so far as I’m aware, remains active in the Church) expressed — rather fiercely, harshly, and vociferously — his contempt for President Russell M. Nelson’s statement (on which, see here and here) that the still-relatively-recent policy clarification regarding children in the custody of same-sex couples came as the result of revelation. It was, this person said, a “lie.” Which, I guess, makes President Nelson a liar. (I’m toning the language down, making it more calm and dispassionate than it actually was.)

I wasn’t pleased at his sentiment, nor at how he expressed it.

I don’t believe in the infallibility of Church leaders, but I hold them in deep respect. And, moreover, I sustain them.

This is a very good piece by J. Max Wilson, and a relevant one:
