She doesn't give her 'view of plural marriage.'


It's certainly isn't the Church's position.

Only apostates use the word 'progressive'? Is its usage a cause or an effect?


It's a left-wing code word for left-wing philosophical direction which has no place in the LDS Church.

Someone please call Salt Lake City and let the First Presidency know that if they are ever confused about the issues, they can just call bcspace to get the straight scoop.

It'd be a flippin' shame if all that knowledge and wisdom went to waste.

From the article:
But the LDS Church, which teaches that marriages — or “sealings” — performed in its temples are eternal, has never disavowed elements of Mormon theology suggesting that polygamy will be practiced in heaven. Church policy permits widowed and some divorced men to be sealed for all eternity to more than one wife, while Mormon women may not be sealed to more than one husband.

This is EXACTLY the Church's position.
However, I concede that it may not be bcspaces position (does that make bcspace apostate? I rather think it might...)
