Thanks Blixa. I highly doubt I will ever be granted permission to view those documents by the President of BYU.

I guess I will just have to use my imagination. I might use it as the basis for my next science fiction short story.

Isn't it obvious? The Church wishes to spread the Gospel to as many parsecs of space as possible. Those Catholics had the advantage of spreading their message on Earth due to not waiting for the restoration. We Mormons want to get an early head start this time.
