Yesterday’s answer:
C Patriarchal Blessings
It is not my intent to examine in depth the disagreements or
misunderstandings that developed between William [Smith] and other members of
the Quorum of the Twelve. (Briefly, William believed that he held priesthood
authority that was superior to that possessed by the Twelve.) William
pronounced patriarchal blessings on proxies for two deceased women in June and
July 1845. When he asked Brigham Young about blessing the dead, Young replied:
“it is not according to the order of the church to confer Patriarchal Blessings
on the dead by proxy, until baptism &c has been attended to for them by
proxy, which must be done in the Lord’s House.” William continued to pronounce
blessings for four months.
