Heavenly Mother (Mormonism) edits
Section: {Text pasted from the article.} My text.

Acknowledgment by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints section: {The church also later implied the theology in the 1995 statement "The Family: A Proclamation to the World", where the church officially stated that each person is a "spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents".} Similarly, the 2019 version of the Young Women Theme reads, "I am a beloved daughter of heavenly parents, with a divine nature and eternal destiny." {Other references to heavenly parents can be found in Latter-day Saint speeches and literature. In 2015, an official essay was published on the church website which surveyed 171 years of statements about a Mother in Heaven and confirmed that it is part of church doctrine.}

Additonal paragraph in Controversy section (after second paragraph): In 2016, McArthur Krishna and Bethany Brady Spalding wrote a children's book that discusses Heavenly Mother. Krishna said in an interview, "We all know that we have a Heavenly Mother. There’s no reason not to talk about this, and to celebrate what we know." Krishna pushed back against the idea of sacred silence by saying, "Not once . . . did a general authority ever say that we cannot speak of her because of her supposedly fragile nature. She is a goddess in might and dignity. And to consider her otherwise, I think, is disrespectful to Her."

Controversy section: {When asked why God said that Adam would rule over Eve, Hinckley said, "I do not know ... My own interpretation of that sentence is that the husband shall have a governing responsibility to provide for, to protect, to strengthen and shield the wife. Any man who belittles or abuses or terrorizes, or who rules in unrighteousness, will deserve and, I believe, receive the reprimand of a just God who is the Eternal Father of both His sons and daughters."} Hinckley then went on to reaffirm the equality of men and women: "Each is a creation of the Almighty, mutually dependent and equally necessary for the continuation of the race. Every new generation in the history of mankind is a testimony of the necessity for both man and woman."

Consistently capitalized Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father (regardless of articles), and left heavenly parents decapitalized

Couldn't find a place for this: Paulsen portrayed Heavenly Mother as powerful and relevant when he said, "Heavenly Mother ... is a procreator and parent, a divine person, a co-creator, a coframer of the plan of salvation, and is involved in this life and the next."

Paulsen: "The Heavenly Mother portrayed in the teachings we have examined is a procreator and parent, a divine person, a co-creator, a coframer of the plan of salvation, and is involved in this life and the next."
