I don't see how it adds anything to the conversation. And it actually makes the church look worse IMO. It seems to suggest that you should listen to him more because of his title.

Supposedly the BoT approved the firing, but it was still a bit of a cheap shot. Went after Herbert too.

Why call him Bishop Burton? Why bring religion into this?

He was a general authority, presiding Bishop over the entire church.
