Comments about ‘WWII vet, 80, likely next Mormon leader’

There is still much work and change needed to reform the church for a logical world presense. Monson has the ability and opportunity to change and lead the church into a new world of enlightment and understanding. We wish him well in the tremendous work he has ahead of him.
