You acknowledge the massacre by PEOPLE OF FAITH, which should have been an absolute prohibition to the act.

You dissemble, qualify the evil done as equivalent to the bad things we have all done. That don't work, at least for most people. Perhaps it works for you? Do you have something in your past that diminishes the Mountain Meadows Massacre in comparison?

Christianity, Islam, all religions have acts of great evil in their past 'in the name of....' LDS had and still has great appeal as a community of faith to me. Their dogma has progressed, but there's problems for me. This is an example of a subtext in their practice. And they still use the term 'gentiles' as a demeaning exclusionary. Always struck me odd as they have such an active missionary program.

Old story- I visited Dachau, saw the cremation ovens, etc. It made an impression, as intended. The Germans are dealing with that part of their history forthright and directly. You say the church is doing so in this case, so I believe you. Neither undoes the great evil done in the name the great good.
