It would be the sin of pride, writ very large indeed, were I to think that some of the utterances heard over the weekend from the leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were specifically in response to anything written by little ol' me.
There is little reason to suppose that President Russell M. Nelson and First Counselor Dallin H. Oaks even know who I am, or care.
But it was hard not to read some of the statements made over the last few days in Salt Lake City’s version of The Great Hall of the People and not think that they were seeking to refute some of the stuff I have written about religion over the years.
