Massive survey shows LDS support for ordination of women!

The results of this survey are being hailed by advocates of women’s ordination and lamented by opponents.

I can’t see what the big deal is.

I too would support the ordination of women if the Lord commanded it through his prophets.  I can think of no reason whatever why women shouldn’t be ordained, except for the fact that, as I and other orthodox Latter-day Saints view the matter, God hasn’t authorized such an action.

But that objection is a very weighty one for benighted folk of my ilk.

Here’s my question:

What kind of mainstream, believing Mormon wouldn’t support the ordination of women if God commanded it through his chosen servants?

So I see no reason for a committed, faithful, orthodox Latter-day Saint to deplore the findings of the survey — unless, of course, as seems likely, they’re deployed as a weapon in an attempt to coerce the Church into ordaining women.

And, while I’m at it, I see absolutely nothing in the survey results to justify the deduction, offered in the linked article by a spokeswoman for Ordain Women, that Mormons are afraid to ask the question of whether women should receive the priesthood.

Where on earth did she come up with that?

If a survey shows that 78% percent of the citizens of France like quiche, that scarcely demonstrates that Charles DeGaulle was allergic to puppies.
