What makes the Church worth following—or as we so often say, what makes it true—is not that it is right, but that it is inspired.
The Church has never been right about everything. We can respond to that fact by stopping our ears and insisting that no, we have always been right and a prophet can’t be wrong. That response is unwise. It denies our imperfect nature and our mortal task of learning to cope with imperfection.
The better response is to embrace our access to divine inspiration. The whole point of divine inspiration is that it helps us correct our mistakes. It helps us to be a little more right tomorrow than we were today.
The mistakes that Joanna Brooks writes about are not small ones. So much the better. How greatly will we rejoice when we find the love that waits on the other side of repentance for these great mistakes!— Loursat
