Methinks you're falling into the same trap as Arch, though perhaps in a different sense. I don't believe you are correctly identifying what we believe was lost, nor what it is that is being restored.

To me there was no Great Apostasy, just a loss of priesthood authority. That was my convoluted point, and I agree with you that Western Civilization is not what I was challenging.
What do you believe Church members actually mean or should mean when they use that misnomer?
