Holland speaks to C. Shane Reese after a devotional at the Marriott Center in Provo on Tuesday, March 21, 2023. Holland announced that Reese will become Brigham Young University’s 14th president May 1.
SUU officials did not immediately reply to inquiries about Holland’s scheduled appearance at graduation ceremonies April 28, just three weeks from now. SUU’s invitation to Holland sparked outrage among some students and alumni. More than 20,000 people signed calling for the invitation to be rescinded because of his call for “‘musket fire’ toward the [LGBTQ+] community.”at BYU, Holland advised faculty and staffers that they should take up their intellectual “muskets” to defend the church and its “doctrine of the family and … marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Sounds like an act of god
SUU didn’t want him and he knew it
Probably for the better. We don’t need any more ‘raise your muskets up’ speeches.
He is a great man. Get better Elder Holland.
Crap who's gonna tell the homophobes to get their muskets now..
Poor little ‘musketman’ lol
Ladies and gentlemen; I give you the readers of the Trib...
Pause the musket fire
I wish him well but I'm also very glad he won't be giving the speech. He shouldn't have been asked in the first place
Bye.
They “treating” him with Remdesivir? Can’t believe this shit is still happening.
Controversy avoided.
Best wishes Sir.
Just wow with the reactions. How low has humanity really sunk?
The Tribe is just vile.
Ahh just give him one of those priesthood administrations and a temple prayer circle prayer. Oh wait those don’t heal? Oh darn.
SUU invite Corbett now. They can’t hate him or else it’s racist:
Holland is more of a man that you folks mocking him will ever be. You are so shallow.
Oh.
I figured he’d fake an illness but this is rather impressive.
Glad you’re sick. Stop being so stubborn! The Church can not stomach any more negative reputation. 🤮🤮
HollandJeffreyR please get well. We love you and appreciate all you do. You are one of my favorite speakers of all time.
❤️☮️ Get well, sir!
Boy it makes me stick to see the haters hate on this wonderful man of God. I, for one, love him, and wish him and his wife the best as they fight to recover from this illness.
DH Oaks is stepping in instead. Confirmed.
Praying that Elder Holland gets better and he can do his speech
Salt Lake Tribune, is this what you hope to accomplish in life is to have bitter and deranged comments on your threads? Look at all the venom below that is leveled at a good man.
When good people Get ridiculed. Happens in the Bible as well. God still wins. The end
FUCK YEAH
Real classy trib….. He should write it and have oaks give it.
That's some Old Testament kind of bidness!
aT leAsT hE's nOt giVing tHe sPEech Now.
Incredibly ghoulish of you Tribune, even more so than usual
🎶and I'm not saying he deserved it, but I'm just saying that God's timing is always riiiiiight🎶
Thoughts and prayers 🍻
🎶 “not saying he deserves it, but god’s timing is always right!” 🎶
The Lord works in mysterious ways 🤩😌
In the name of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ, amen.
Wish him well and remember, Covid is still a thing. Be careful
Sending thoughts and prayers about it
Sounds like divine intervention.
As me dear old Granny used to say: 'Jezus karze'
Jesus has spoken
god timing is always right
That is truly unfortunate, I hope that he recovers quickly.
Swap out “hopefully” for “presumably” and it would be more appropriate here for the locals…right?
David Glen Hatch would be the best speaker ever!!!!!!
Good inferring SLT
Wow, it's like Christmas in July for the Trib. You get to combine three of your favorite things: 'Gloating over a political enemy getting Covid', 'Gloating over Conservatives being unable to speak in public', and 'General hatred for everyone in the State.'
While his contracting COVID is sad news (and I hope recovers), at least he will not be giving the commencement speech. If SUU is still looking for a divisive LDS leader to give the commencement speech, they can see if Brad Wilcox is available 😁
Praying he gets feeling better soon! I love Elder Holland!
Take a whole year, see if anyone cares.
Somebody's prayers were answered.
