`  John Hamer ``However, it surely is true that if Marsh had remained President of the 12 he would have prevented Brigham Young from becoming President of the Church.`` Really? Do you have anything to support that? Seriously, where is the integrity of Wikipedia in posting unfounded personal opinions? Also ``There was no reason to imagine that the President of the 12 would succeed to the Presidency and Marsh doesn't seem like the same kind of ambitious man that Brigham Young was to cause such an unexpected precedent.`` What ``precedent`` do you speak of? As far as the Mormons where concerned they had only had One prophet, and they knew nothing of Prophetic succession, so their could not have been any ``precedent`` in regards to succession of Brigham Young or Marsh.  To all...As for the ``Modern Opinion`` this section should not be included, putting the silly disclaimer on it does not change the fact the ``Modern Opinion`` is entirely unsupportable. Any Mormon male ``could be`` the Prophet of the Mormon Church some day. Also IF and that's a VERY BIG IF, Mormons do hold the opinion supposedly expressed in the ``Modern Opinion`` section, then there should be a cite; some credible source to refer....otherwise for the sake of Wikipedia's integrity keep personal opinions elsewhere.   `
