The Return of Historical Mormon Smackdown: Prophetic Spouse edition!

The Return of Historical Mormon Smackdown: Prophetic Spouse edition!

When last we checked, more people were disturbed by possible polyandry than polygyny on the part of the Prophet Joseph. This week, we continue my personal campaign to put things in perspective:

Who is more influential in the church today: Emma Hale Smith or Marjorie Pay Hinckley?

Emma Smith: wife of the Prophet Joseph Smith, recipient of D&C 25, subject of two books and several pieces of variable quality artwork at deseretbook.com.

Marjorie Hinckley: wife of the current prophet, recipient of degrees, subject of three books at deseretbook.com (but no variable quality artwork).

Take a side in this fight below and post your thoughts on the process.
