Got an angry email recently from a reader who didn’t like being told the truth about climate change (the latest U.S. example of which involves raging California wildfires that have now melded into the largest conflaguration in the state's history, growing to the size of metro Los Angeles). .

PART 2 Of 2 Finally, below is the case for inherent LDS female priesthood power and authority, as made by a website advocating for a good dose of enlightening "liberalism" in the Mormon Church: "Women and Priesthood "The scriptures teach that male and female are alike to God.

Two Parts PART 1 Abandoned, earlier-acknowledged and officially-practiced Mormon Church doctrine (as taught, implemented and personally preached by Joseph Smith and other top Mormon Church leaders) stated that Mormon women actually--and inherently--possess the Priesthood in their own right. Of course, that inconvenient history has since been deleted, censored and otherwise manhandled--w

. . . RF was correcting both my spelling and my grammar.
