Paul Tascono is a good man. He gave an amazing talk a while back entitled Emptying the Fullness of the Priesthood. He spoke a lot about Joseph Smith's vision regarding women's equality in priesthood and how Joseph proceeded to give (through the anointed quorum) the gifts, authority and powers of the priesthood equal to men. It was only a few months later that Joseph was murdered and Brigham Young led the Church a few steps backward into a less progressed standard of patriarchy over women.
A few steps back? He led a coup against the God ordained order of the church. He usurped the church leadership from the man who was next in line to lead the church in Nauvoo. Samuel Smith's descendants still believe that BY ordered him murdered so that SS could not be called by God to l replace his brother. That's giant leaps towards hell
JSmith and LDS lovers - I think you and many need to read about your beloved prophet Joseph Smith he is one of the biggest gangstas EVER like his bro Brigham!
I feel like he was giving a talk. Big words little meaning. Lots of clever phrases. Dwells on exceptions. Demands tolerance for his views but won't give it to others. Lots of word play. He tries to be the PIED PIPER OF PITY I am sure he would change his tone if they let him be a leader in the LDS church.
Thanks, Sunstone, for giving voice to Paul and his ideas, and thanks, Paul, for your words, both tender and raucous.
Very sharp analysis and so recognizable for any long-time mormon. Self-criticism is needed more than ever.
