What hinckley did was increase the brick and mortar capital of the church. Think how much more the Mormon church can borrow now that they have many McTemples to borrow against as collateral?
What the Mormons don't/wont get is that land in the form of "temples" are just assets used to borrow money for the elites for-profit businesses. Asshats, every single one of them.

Why not? The dink knowingly lied to the press, perpetuated a cult and brought millions (billions?) of capital into the for profit coffers via temple capital. He was a tool, plain and simple.

Actually, it is a simple thing. What could possibly be a better course of action than telling the truth?
There will be many courses of action tried - and failed. At least, will come the truth.
It's a long way to Tipperary.

Term as CEO: 12 years.
77 temples x average $10 Million each = 770$ Million
Cash donations to charitable organizations since 1985: Only $201 Million divide that by 22 years = ~$9.1 Million per year, so under his leadership LDS Inc spent only ~$110 Million in cash on humanitarian work.
$110 Million spent on the living vs $770 Million spent on the dead.
He spent more on the dead than the living.
He leaves a legacy of the dead.
Add the $300 Million he spent on the Mega'nacle and the $2-3 BILLION on the Mo'Malls, and you get the picture.
