I suspect that Monson has had with Hinckley's embarrassing attempts to suck up with the media. Having said that, many post-Mormons were so preoccupied that they did not appreciate that the Church also became a lot more authoritarian under Hinckley. After all, it was under his aegis that New Mormon History was relegated to the dust heap of Mormonism, that the September 6 were excommunicated, and that God's love became conditional. There was another doctrinal change that strengthened the hand of the brethren but that I cannot remember at the moment. Anyways, the authoritarian changes have now made their way into the gospel essentials manual. We are witnessing the demise of Mormonism's congregationalist heritage. Good point, MoHoHawaii.

I wonder if it's part of his rebranding strategy. You know, it could just be a coincidence, but I think there’s a new chill in the air since Thomas Monson took the helm.
