God doesn't act like the Church. No, instead, the Church must act like God.

Polygamy was officially discontinued in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1890. Those groups which continue the practice in Utah and elsewhere have no association [with us] ... and most of their practitioners have never been among our members ... It will be regrettable if this program, by making polygamy the subject of entertainment, minimizes the seriousness of that problem.

Most absurdly in the program, the Aidan Quinn character is portrayed as a courageous priest challenging a conservative church hierarchy. In real life, the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut has a liberal bishop who is cracking down on dissenting conservative priests. The national Episcopal hierarchy is overwhelmingly liberal, and orthodox Episcopalians are increasingly looking to overseas Anglican primates for leadership and protection.

The Reformation did not directly touch the question of the true character of God's church.

God is moving outside the church walls.

He who is near the church is often far from God
