Never happen. But I don't expect churches to apologize. Same reason I don't expect them to "open the books" to us and give it to us straight. Whether it is Mormon or Islam, you give it straight and it will only rock the boat. The dues paying members want a nice smooth ride.
Exactly. I love the community aspects of the church, but I don't know that they could survive an honest prophet.

When a person is unwilling to apologize it can be thought of as a character flaw. When a Church is unwilling to apologize it is an institutional flaw.

Strange - the Catholics claim infallibility - Petrine supremacy of the pope, and yet no Catholic I have ever talked with believes their church or pope to be perfect...
Mormons do not claim the prophet or the church are perfect.... and yet... the culture acts like they are??
