What I should do is, whenever I post the url for something the c-not-of-c said or did, I should put under it, "true?" or "false?"

In the critical matter of ordination, the church should not admit a practicing homosexual to the priesthood. It cannot sanction homosexual acts as morally acceptable behavior any more than it can endorse heterosexual promiscuity. If a member of the priesthood admits to, or is found to be engaged in homosexual behavior, the administrative officer having jurisdiction should institute procedures for silencing according to church law.

This was the stand in 1982. True? False?

4. Why are we talking about same-gender marriages and ordaining people in same-gender relationships? Doesn’t the church already have a policy about ordaining homosexuals?

a. In 1982, the Standing High Council wrote a document. From that document, the First Presidency created a policy that does not allow ordination of anyone (heterosexual or homosexual) involved in sexual relationships outside of marriage.

The wording is different, the second one changing the meaning of the first one. True? False?

That makes the c-not-of-c leadership a pack of liars. True? False?
