Did you guys read the article?

“I thought the value of the manuscript exceeded $100 million, and the LDS Church got a good value,” Hajicek said.

Of course, not as good of a deal as they could have made back when it was acquired by the Community of Christ for $2500 and the LDS church passed on the bidding back then.

The church may not want this Hajicek guy being the one making offers on Joseph and Hyrum's graves or the Kirkland temple.

RC isn't the only one to mix up Kirtland and Kirkland. The church's own manual's appear to have that same mistake in some places:

I have the same problem with guys named Kurt or Kirk. I hope others have the same problem and they get called the wrong name all the time.

I believe the CoC needed the money to fund pensions, etc. for some of its older, retired clergy, so yes, looks like a win-win here.

Idiots, they should call it a modest living allowance.

I'm super disappointed if the church really paid $35 million for that. Why?

I join you in that disappointment, whether it was actually a group of "generous donors" or that was just a euphemism for "tithe payers".

Hey HFN: You still owe me $10.

How can you expect him to pay you back when BYU's asst. coaches are so underpaid and his $10 could be given to them? typical ute.

I even added a late fee for you. Don't buy fast food or anything on sale with it tho. I'm pulling for you to be a success!

I assume it's the amount, right?
The printer's manuscript is the closest thing the church has to a 'divine' relic. It's got to be pretty faith-promoting, and I'm sure it will be a hit at the church museum. So I can totally see why the church would spend a lot to get it.

35 million is a lot though...

Can't believe the CoC gouged them like that. Savage.
