Jana Riess examines how the LDS Church deflects criticism

Original: Jana Riess: Shields up! Evasive maneuvers! How the LDS Church responds to perceived criticism.

Religion writer Jana Riess has published a new column in The Salt Lake Tribune arguing that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints tends to react to perceived criticism defensively, likening its approach to a starship raising shields and taking evasive maneuvers. The piece analyzes the institution's public relations habits and how it engages, or declines to engage, with its critics.

Why now: The LDS Church's handling of criticism is a recurring point of debate among members and observers, drawing attention to the column.
