I certainly don’t want to run RBC or anyone else out of the Church, my parenthetical merely asked whether there is any other group outside of faithful members of the Church who, as a group, pray more consistently for the Lord’s true will to be done? Or, in other words, if Catholics, or Baptists, or Muslims or any other religious (or non-religious) demographic more consistently prayed for things in accordance with the Lord’s will, what conclusions must we reach regarding our faith’s claims to greater understandings of such things. By extension, we would have to conclude that our Church is not exactly what it claims. (In other words, if I thought that an application of LDS doctrine led me to be less in tune with the Lord than an application of Catholic doctrine, why would I stay LDS?) Perhaps I was not sufficiently clear in my parenthetical above, as I was not stating that ACC fans (however misguided they might be, serious tic) should be chucked from the Church.

(I also made a conscious decision not to address the bureaucrats in the Church Office Building and referred instead to the brethren in the Church Administration Building. I understand that those in the Church Office Building bleed much more blue … perhaps it’s that bureaucracy that has kept BYU sports alive all these years.)
