No. This is about trying to manage a story, and the clumsiness is plain to anyone who has watched the church struggle over the years with the world's perception. It recalls a time when paranoia won out over confidence for the church, a time perhaps best capsulized by the Mark Hofmann episode, when a diabolical crook exploited the fears of church leaders by selling them phony historical documents that they bought and buried, thinking they were hiding evidence of church flaws from the public.
