(RNS) — These last few weeks have been something of a public relations nightmare for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has tried twice to deny a recent Associated Press story documenting how the help line for Mormon bishops failed to help victims of sexual abuse in an Arizona family. The church insists the AP story 'got it wrong' and claims there were 'egregious errors in reporting and editing.' While it raises an important question about the timeline of the abuse and the extent of what the bishop knew, the tone of the second statement is even more defensive than the first was.
