. . . he had a kind of policy that he would not talk about things . . . where he disagreed with the church. . . . If a general authority had taken a position on an issue, Hugh very seldom would, would critique that. . . [186, 40:18-40:48]

I don't think he was way out there, but I think in terms of, you know, his reading, he loved, um, Brigham Young. . . .

I never heard him say I believe in the Adam God doctrine, . . . but it, it occurred to me when I was a student at BYU; I was . . . fresh from a mission, newly married, and really zealous about the church. And, you know, he'd written all this stuff that was apologetic, defending the faith, and I thought, why hasn't he addressed that issue?

And so I asked him, I said, why, "Why haven't you talked about that? The anti Mormons get us on that all the time? And he said, "Oh, I never think about that. And . . . he just didn't want to talk about it. . . . Well, let me revise that, "I don't talk about that." And so the implication to me . . . that he probably believed in it.

He never confessed it, but he also said in several of his Brigham Young writings that he felt like Brigham Young was a better theologian than he's been given credit for. So. . . my gut feeling is that he had very strong sympathies for that theology. [187, 1:06:53-1:08:02]
