Latter-day Saint leader Brad Wilcox issued an apology for his comments about women, other religions and the former priesthood/temple ban for Black members of the LDS Church, but critics say the problem goes far deeper than one person’s remarks.
,” published by church-owned Deseret Book last fall, popular youth speaker and writer John Bytheway wields a similar line of reasoning — in his case to seemingly quiet concerns about Latter-day Saint women not being able to receive priesthood “keys.”
To Bradshaw, the message was clear. Oaks, the man next in line to lead the church, was letting everyone know that, as she put it, the ban “was a God thing and not just a racism thing.”A convert, Bradshaw said had she known before her 2014 baptism that this belief still held sway, she “would have been a lot less likely to have joined.”
Given this kind of environment, Harris said, simply telling Wilcox to “be more circumspect is missing the point.” During his Alpine devotional, Wilcox further aimed to address “how come the girls don’t have the priesthood” — yet another question he says he often hears. While the church has pushed back against some feminist movements , Kline said “way more common in LDS circles” than these kinds of negative characterizations was Wilcox’s “pedestalization” of women.
