“But I have never seen a Mormon voice a disagreement with their church.”
You apparently have never visited my Ward. Ha! And the other day, oh, I wanted a cup of coffee sooooo bad.
Can you have decaf?
I really don’t know the answer to that.
I’m reading a book on Mormon Polygamy and the polygamists whole argument was that the LDS church “broke the rules” on the Principle because the Principle was eternal. The LDS responded that the polygamists broke the rule on Apostle Succession in that Latter Day leaders would prophecy God’s Truth. If the President and the General Conference said polygamy was to end, they were speaking what God had told them. Not to mention that the US government was threatening to confiscate the Temples.
Oddly, the church cooperated with the polygamists by sending them out of the country. Eventually, the disagreement became too great with the polygamists undermining the authority of SLC.
Note: the FLDS group drank coffee and alcohol. Go figure.
