Actually, that is not why this thread has the caucus tag removed. The reasons for the change in this thread were clearly stated.

The statement closest to your interpretation was that the title was “insulting”, for those who reject the LDS beliefs.

But “insulting” is not at all the same as “ridiculing”, much less ridiculing a specific group.

Caucus threads are not allowed to be posts of attack-articles; they are supposed to only mention the belief system of the caucus. The article in this thread seems to meet that definition, being a statement of the mormon faith, without reference to other faiths or practitioners.

Actually, it was pulled because it was blasphemy.

The caucus definition was changed because when Christians looked at the title Joseph Smith: An Apostle of Jesus Christ they see it saying that Joseph Smith is an Apostle of the Savior (and God) of the Christian faith Jesus Christ.

That in it's self is deceptive, because the Jesus Christ of mainstream Christianity has no apostle named Joseph Smith.

If the title would have said Joseph Smith: An Apostle of (the Mormon) Jesus Christ I doubt there would have been a problem.

There is a great divide between the Mormon jesus and the Christian Jesus Christ.
