“Make no mistake about it, brothers and sisters, in the months and years ahead, events are likely to require each member to decide whether or not he will follow the First Presidency. Members will find it more difficult to halt longer between two opinions. President Marion G. Romney said, many years ago, he had ‘never hesitated to follow the counsel of the Authorities of the Church even though it crossed my social, professional or political life.’ This is a hard doctrine, but it is a particularly vital doctrine in a society which is becoming more wicked. We see an effort made to establish irreligion as the state religion. It is actually a new form of paganism which uses the carefully preserved and cultivated freedoms of western civilization to shrink freedom, even as it rejects the value essence of our rich Judeo-Christian heritage.” – Neal A. Maxwell
