Okay, we recorded this well before you’re hearing it, so we have absolutely no idea what happened at General Conference, but we’re confident the talks were great. After opening the Phoebe Draper Palmer Brown mailbag and a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Bishop Howard Wilde of Nampa, Idaho, we tackle a litener’s question on Catholic apostolic authority. Gerrit references a 1842 Times and Seasons article that explains why every reformation fell short of a true restoration. We conclude our discussion on Enoch with Joseph Smith’s teachings on translation versus resurrection, Hyrum Smith’s reminder that faith matters more than great words, and Orson Pratt’s vision of the City of Enoch returning at the Second Coming.
