What a difference a few letters can make! It seems the Daily Universe, Brigham Young University’s newspaper, had to call back 18,000 copies of their newspaper after an unfortunate typo made it through unnoticed. While this is surprising in and of itself, what’s even more surprising is that the LDS community doesn’t seem to be enjoying the obvious humor of the simple mistake. Instead, apparently some are actually putting forth the idea that somebody sabotaged the newspaper intentionally to damage the church. Really? I mean, read it for yourself. It’s obviously just a typo…. and really funny!
The twelve apostles? Or the twelve... apostates!

Thanks so much for posting this! It’s truly hilarious! I really wonder how it happened!
The LDS claim, God still speaks today! I couldn’t agree more. I think He was speaking through the first printing of the Daily Universe!
In Christ Alone,

Well, there are certainly many in the LDS community who find it very funny—including just about every Mormon I’ve talked to about it (yes, even the “faithful” ones).
