This is the PR guy for the MI for Christ sakes! Who had nothing to do with Peterson et al ouster. And they wonder why the MI decided to take a new approach. If they were really interested in getting back in control of the MI you would think they would realize this sort of nonsense isn't going to help their cause.

One should also keep in mind that the Brethren have recently endorsed Book of Mormon Central, the Interpreter Foundation, and FAIR as independent agencies from whom Latter-day Saints can assess solid scholarship on their faith.

[And finally, under the heading]

The Church does not officially endorse those outlets because they do not have the time, resources, ability, or desire to correlate it all. They unofficially endorse it by linking to it, which is about as much as anyone could expect. They unofficially endorse these things because they know the key actors are ironclad loyal.

Along with the obvious fact taht the brethren themselves distinctly lack the intellectual capability to keep up with the actual knowledge of historical, archaeological, philosophical and religious studies have shown what a farce their "historical" scriptures are.
