Re: Was There an Apostolic Coup-D-Etat?
I haven't listen the podcasts yet.
It is clear that the role of the apostles evolved from what it initially was. They used to have jurisdiction only outside established stakes. That changed in Nauvoo. I wouldn't call it a coup, though. Joseph was the one who initiated the changes.
