I’m still trying to figure out what the big deal is with all the Mountain Meadow Massacre mania recently. Was it a horrible crime? Yes, clearly, and it was shameful.
Does that mean that an entire faith is guilty of what some members did 150 years ago? No.
Is that shameful incident representative of an entire Church? No.
So, what is the point of all the publicity now?
It’s the sesquicentennial of a shameful incident. Really Bad Event + Notable Anniversary = newsworthy.
