In 2008, the Mormon church, whose leaders in the past had downplayed the faith's role in the massacre, took the lead in pushing for the landmark designation, filing the application with the parks service.

Geesh....even LDS, Inc. admits their members were involved.

I think on this point they knew when to "cut their losses".

Of course they've ceded many points...of the "old church"...but can't run from their prophets words and deeds...without hurting the very core of their religion. LDS, Inc...is smart enough to figure that out..at least to this point.

That said....The Hive...is always trying to spin the story.

HA!!

Makes ME wonder what ELSE was in the works!
