Maybe Consiglieri could send the bishop on a mission to Palestine, then "marry" the bishop's wife while he's away.

From what I have read, if Blanche doesn't accept Consiglieri's relationship with the bishop's wife, then Blanche will be damned.
Oh, except that the bishop's wife is not a virgin and is betrothed to another man. But Joseph Smith and Brigham Young flagrantly contradicted the requirements of D&C 132, so maybe it will be okay if Consiglieri does, too.
Lets use our imagination and picture the scene at the chapel. An older woman gives a talk and sonsig of course is a little critical of it. The talks relates to the discussion that consig had with the bishop's wife the night previously. After the talk, the congregation begins to sing a hymn. Consig confers with wife and gets up during the hymn, says excuse me to the people in the pews as he exits the pew and walks to the other side of the chapel, goes up to the bishop's wife and whispers something to her and causes her to laugh and laugh. He then goes back to his wife and sits down.
Seem strange? I would have waited until the meeting was over and then as everyone was talking waiting for sunday school to begin or rushing around the foyer going wherever they had to go, to approach the bishop's wife. Why make a scene?
I intend to lay a foundation that will revolutionize the whole world. Joseph Smith We are “to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to provide for the widow, to dry up the tear of the orphan, to comfort the afflicted, whether in this church, or in any other, or in no church at all…” Joseph Smith

You muppet, the meeting was over. Read his post again, properly this time.

I think you have confused me with Cary Grant and the bishop's wife with Loretta Young.
Maybe so. But after a sensitive conversation about priesthood oppression, and the oppression of heavenly mother, complete with a listening ear to what the woman was saying and then the next day as she stands in the back of the chapel, singing the hymn, you approach and whisper a reminder about yesterday, causing her to laugh and laugh and you most likely to smile, and then you go back to your wife...well....a woman's imagination can be quite vivid: a sensitive man causing her to laugh...
Think about it.

I told her that you can believe in God’s micromanaging things, or you can believe in human agency to choose, but you can’t believe in both at the same time.
Either God is directing everything or people are making free choices independent of God’s will.
--Consiglieri
I think both ideas are true. God planned everything that would happen on earth by predicting what everyone would choose to do in advance. He's got it all figured out through planning. How else did Jesus atone for your sins two thousand years ago?
