I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, but I figured I would share some info I recently heard.
I have it on good authority, and without getting too specific to protect the innocent, president monson is not without some mental failings. The story I got is that sister Dibb (sp?) is going to great lengths to keep his current mental state from becoming public. In not sure if its Alzheimer's or just general senility. I'm no mental health professional.
I don't bring this up to mock pres. Monson. It's a natural thing that happens when you get old and it's certainly not his fault.
My reason for mentioning it is because I had a thought. When Prop 8 happened I just always assumed it was because pres. Monson had just come into power and was flexing his authority muscles. But now I'm thinking that he wasn't driving that all. Maybe it was someone else who took advantage of the fact that pres hinckley was gone and monson was a non factor. My first thought was maybe it was president packer, but I'm not convinced his mental health is all there either.
Anyways, it's an interesting thought to imagine someone behind the scenes pulling those strings.
