Just wondering based on how close they were when he visited the Pope a few years ago.

Never

No.

And it should be pointed out that the Roman Pope took pains to make it clear that the blessings were not for the marriages themselves but for the individuals asking for them. Even with that, however, Russell M. Nelson is not going to go down that path.

The church ought to take notice that the vast majority (per what I see) of gay couples are childless, meaning that these are double-income, no-children couples (DINKs) and thus have more disposable income, so that paying a full tithe is easier, as well as the extra time to devote to church callings.

Maybe the stocks and bonds side of church governance can smack the ecclesiastical branch of leadership upside the head?!

That's one of their Lines in the sand.

Too many possible losses (people & $) if they change core beliefs - claims.

Yeah, they'd lose a lot of the older people, but they're on track to lose them anyway because time keeps moving on...

And all they have to do is look back at 1978: they survived a very fundamental change then, in one fell swoop!  At least now your neighbors can say, "Well, at least GNPE's daughter didn't marry a Black person!"

I think you may have lurched uncontrollably into the truth. (Re EOD saying they are leaving too much money on the table)

It will be part of TSCC SDGs. Don't worry, be happy.

Dusty won’t. He is too close to his expiration date. But a future leader will. I’d guess in ten or fifteen years, after Bednar expires.

Dusty loves the pope. The pope showed him some attention and he’s star struck.

Rumor has it that Dusty will dress members of his security detail similar to the Swiss Guard folks who protect the Pope...


Is this true?
