It's clear by what is and isn't available for historical review in the Mormon archives that the church hierarchy is aware they are sitting on a huge pile of incriminating bull shit.

As it turns out, due to schisms, past laxity, filing errors and other factors, quite a bit of the real 'poo' in the Mormon archives is available somewhere.

Looking over what is available, and then being aware of what they will and won't release, it is very easy to conclude most of the poobahs at Mormon Central are aware the whole stinking mess of Mormon theology is total crap.

Makes it a cult, a damn successful one too. Probably enough success to really stick in the craw of the Scientologists.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
