In December of last year, members of the Mormon church submitted an open letter to the leaders of the church. The link is here
They asked for the church to respond to the many issues and concerns members of the church are learning about the church. One line from the letter really stood out to me.
"It is not as you may suppose a crisis of faith, but is in a very real sense a crisis of authority; your authority, and the authority of those above you in the LDS hierarchy."
The issues surrounding the church are real and they are valid. A member's testimony cannot help but be shaken upon learning this information, no matter how fully they believe.
And the issues cast legitimate doubt on the fundamental claims of the church.
