I think if you read (or re-read) the DOM biography you would have a better understanding of how the FP and Q12 operate and build consensus. There is a very, very human element to it.

I would not characterize reconciliation of my beliefs that way -it would be a combination of the two.
I truly feel from what I have read that there already was consenus. Yet consensus isn't absolute acceptance. And that's where I don't think you understand me ... I am certain apostles overtly disagree with one another. They would not be effective leaders and would fail in a measure of their stewardship if they did not voice their opinion on all matters.
Disagreement is not dissent. A compelling aspect of council is the human element. Yet equally compelling is the spiritual element.
