Subject of Discussion: Corporate PR vs. Moral Obligations of a Church
The Mountain Meadows Massacre offers a striking case study in how the LDS Church has long sought to shape, limit, or control the historical record.
However, a church’s moral legitimacy rests on its willingness to face the truth, confess wrongs, and protect the conscience of its members above its own institutional interests. By contrast, the goals of corporate public relations are to manage perception, protect the brand, and maintain loyalty, even if that means withholding or reframing damaging truths. These values are legitimate in commerce. They are ethically ruinous in a religious institution claiming divine authority.
