Another point is this language of "counterfeit families" which were L. Tom Perry's parting words to the church. And then the description from the church about a recent apostle's "authentic LDS family."
This may tap into the desire of some to root out and expunge these "counterfeits" in order to "protect" the church.
Perry's son was trying to de-emphasize his father's words after his death. But I'm not sure that L. Tom Perry would want any de-emphasis. He theoretically it sounds like, might have been a big proponent of this new policy.
