More Statements from LDS Church Leaders Denying Being Infallible



"The First Presidency cannot claim, individually or collectively, infallibility" (Gospel Truth: Discourses and Writings of President George Q. Cannon, 2 vols. [Salt Lake City: Deseret, 1957], 1:206)

"I make no claim of infallibility" (Spencer W. Kimball, Improvement Era, Jun. 1970, 93).

"We make no claim of infallibility or perfection in the prophets, seers, and revelators" (James E. Faust, Ensign, Nov. 1989), 11).

"So be kind regarding human frailty--your own as well as that of those who serve with you in a Church led by volunteer, mortal men and women. Except in the case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it. So should we. And when you see imperfection, remember that the limitation is not in the divinity of the work" (Jeffrey R. Holland, "Lord, I Believe," Ensign, Apr. 2013)


"There have been times when members or leaders in the Church have simply made mistakes. There may have been things said or done that were not in harmony with our values, principles, or doctrine" (Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Come Join With Us," October 2013 General Conference)
