Has he directly criticized the leaders of the LDS Church?

No, but dispelling many superstitious tales from the Bible that have been incorporated into Mormonism has drawn ire from the apologetic faithful. They insist on the inerrancy of being swallowed by a whale. Saying there are no Quakers on the Moon or inhabitants on the Sun directly contradicts the words of Mormon prophets.

Those topics alone would make interesting articles for the Interpreter Foundation.

I think it's important that he is doing what he does just as I think it was necessary and important that Charlie Harrell wrote his book. I was sorry to hear that he has stepped back from church activity.

We all travel different paths.

Being honest does not mean his attendance has changed. Saying otherwise would be like confirming Mormonism is based on deception.
