From the column: ...as an active Mormon who grew up in the 1960s, 70s and early 80s, I can attest that the many times I or others had a dispute on theology, “Mormon Doctrine” was the first place we went to check and see who was “right.” According to Fletcher Stack’s article, a key problem with the first edition was severe attacks on the Roman Catholic Church. Later problems with the book were its content regarding blacks. In early editions, McConkie had stated a reversal of denying the priesthood to blacks would never occur. And “even in the most recent edition … McConkie wrote that God cursed Cain with ‘a mark of dark skin, and he became the ancestor of the black race,’” writes Fletcher Stack. In recent years, the Mormon Church has become public relations conscious...

So, the book that was once THE authoritative "go-to" book to settle questions has been "buried." RIP
The racist book written by a so-called Lds "apostle" has been "buried." RIP
Since an apostle, Paul, along with other apostles like John, Matthew and Peter, wrote a good chunk of the New Testament, wouldn't this be tantamount to God saying to any of these four, "Sorry, these books are just too negative about things. We must be public relations conscious; therefore, we are removing Matthew, John, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Revelation, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, 1 Thessalonians, and 2 Thessalonians from the New Testament. Carry on." ????

There’s a Mormon church (LDS I suppose) up the road from my house. Good people. The bike riding & nametage wearing are a little wacky but they’re good people when I see them out and about.

What a fanciful idea. Stop printing your works of fiction, then reprint what you really wanted to say, probably because of some big revelation and discredit everything that was said before.
Are they going to ask that all old print books be turned in? What a big giant book burning? Who knows.
I am figuring in ten years this will all happen again.
Rewrite, destroy previous words as they are not valid any longer.

I am eternally grateful that my God is the same yesterday today and will be tomorrow.

As a side note I certainly hope our Catholic brethren see this and realize lds are not their friends.

The mormon church can bury McConkie for the second..or is it third..time, but his legacy lives on the interwebs, there for generations to access.

The only ones who will not "hear" the hateful practices of earlier mormonism will be the brainwashed members.

Coming from a people that threw a pillar (polygamy)of their faith under the bus for political expediency, nothing surprises me about LDS.
