Historical Mormon Prophet Smackdown

Historical Mormon Prophet Smackdown October 10, 2005

Well, it turns out that since I left the last smackdown up long enough, the lead changed twice. Eventually Elder Roberts was ahead and, since I wanted him to win, I stopped the poll before that could change again. Whew!

On to this week’s battle of all time:
Who do you think wields more influence over the church today: President Brigham Young or President Joseph F. Smith?

President Young pretty much created Utah. Also, he was responsible for section 136. Finally, he participated in plural marriage.

President Smith was the nephew of Joseph Smith and the father of another prophet. Also, he was responsible for section 138. Finally, he participated in plural marriage.

There you go. Please vote below and let us know why you chose the prophet you did.
