". . . Many Latter-day Saints, however are finding answers that confirm and renew their faith, according to research conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life for its landmark "Mormons in America" study last year. A significant majority — 77 percent — of those who identify themselves as members of the LDS Church "believe wholeheartedly in all the teachings of the church." That number is higher among respondents who have attended college (81 percent), and even higher (85 percent) among those who are college graduates."

From an article in the church owned D-news.

Wholeheartedly believe in all of the current teachings of the church for today, or in ALL of the teachings of the One True Church, past and present?

Well obviously those who "identify themselves as members of the LDS church" believe what the Morg teaches, otherwise they usually wouldn't identify themselves as members of the Morg!

It would be rather bizarre to identify yourself in an anonymous poll as LDS and then say, "but it's a pile of horse manure". Makes you wonder about the 20% in that category.

Anecdotaly, I personally know 3 MD's and a couple of very successful lawyers (so those with graduate degrees) who don't believe for an instant that Joseph Smith was any sort of a prophet, but they a frightened to the quick about alimony if they said a word.

I often wonder how many of those empty suits sitting there in the pews on Sunday are men living lives of quiet desperation yearning for freedom and seeing no path.
