Nothing the church publishes has a "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" [sic]
copyright. Nor does anything that the church publishes carry a copyright using the correct name of the church. All church materials are copyrighted IRI. That copyright means it has gone through a Correlation review and been approved. Anything BYU publishes that is unofficial will not carry an IRI copyright. For example, here is the copyright notice for BYU Magazine:
COPYRIGHT 2010 BY BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY
That you don't understand the significance of an IRI copyright further establishes that, unlike J Green and me, you have not had any formal training in matters of church publications and policies regarding official doctrine.
No. Not published by the Church. The Church itself was interested in publishing such a compendium but when "Mormon Doctrine" couldn't pass muster after several revisions, they wouldn't put the Church's stamp of approval on it. Just because something is owned by the Church doesn't mean they exercise full editorial control over it.
ROFL. While the church may not put its stamp of approval on Deseret Book and, previously, Bookcraft publications, they do exercise full editorial control. Heck, they even insisted on full editorial control of the Encyclopedia of Mormonism, which wasn't even published by DB.
