Let's all remember that this was started by a Time magazine article. They do not have the interests of conservatives or churchgoers at heart. Further, all religious organizations that consider themselves Christian (yes, this includes you Mormons) have had since the 1960s some attempt to have disguised Communism displace normal teaching. Whatever else he may be wrong about, on this point, Beck is right. Yes, 'living the principle' means putting everything into a common pot under a Mormon prophet (and perhaps Beck should know a little more about the religion for which he left Catholicism), but the point of the article was to legitimize the leftist wolves in sheep's clothing who politicize our religious organizations today. Not Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Jeremiah Wright, but the nameless theorists who staff middle management and run seminaries, and whose 'outrage' in this article tells us that they are more concerned about preening as progressives than about saving souls.

I admit that I am one of the 'anti-Mormons' that 'pounce' upon the Mormons and atheists on these threads. I also have come to be tired of, and disappointed in, Beck (mainly because his shtick as the only sane person in the building only worked on CNN, when he was the only sane person in the building). However, Beck was right when he attacked these Rev. Wright wannabes, and wrong to backtrack.

A strong voice of reason has spoken. You must have been circling above me and gleaning words I couldn’t voice myself for my lack of proper verbal imagination.

Right on man, Right on!

Very well put. As a Catholic I know very well that the term “Social Justice” is a morally relative term with no tether to specific Truth(s) -it is about as objective a term as “Fair” is. “Social Justice” like being “Fair” seeks out its own subjective truth(s)premised upon majority opinion/will and or compromise... King Solomon called for such “Social Justice” and “Fairness” when suggesting “splitting the baby” -—There are many Catholic teachings that there can be no compromise on -the best way to avoid confusion on issues is to dig deeper beyond and avoid morally relative terms as they are among the sheep's clothing lines that wolves prefer...
