Default I guess the news coming out of this is Uchtdorf's removal from the FP

He would be the first since Marion G. Romney who was not retained by ETB.

The other example that comes to mind is when Hugh Brown was not retained after DOM.

Btw, I'm not sure where we get the idea that Uchtdorf is more "liberal." I think it comes from the nature and subject of his talks in GC. But who knows what he believes on the controversial topics of the past few years. He may be more liberal. Or less liberal. And so forth.

It's not like we have some tell-all book that gives us a front row in the meetings of the FP and the apostles.

You are quoting Uchtdorf? So I guess you are saying he didn't talk about any New World Order birther stuff?

Btw, all the Mormon liberals pining for brown apostles from other continents...several commentators made the point that those populations are MUCH more conservative than Americans. Liberals might not find themselves so happy.

This is pretty scathing. I am surprised that BCC published this. Usually they are pretty milquetoast when it comes to controversy.

I guess they deleted it. Here's the google cache copy:

They are sanitizing it before putting it back up.
