Revelation as cover up strategy

Post by _Maksutov »

Rather than expressing and transmitting sacred or otherwise profound knowledge, how often are revelations used to patch over or prune away evidence of earlier errors? I'm interested most in Mormon examples but I suspect Mormons are not unique in this. :wink:

Papal canons come to mind.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.
