For a number of years now the actions have spoken louder than words, this is true.

Positive actions.

The church teaches that the seven parts are recognizing sin, feeling sorrow for sin, forsaking sin, confessing sin, making restitution, forgiving others, and keeping the commandments.

The apologetic argument that “Church leaders were a product of their time” is not taking full responsibility, in my opinion.
This is similar to the argument that we ought to be responsible for the past racial injustices of those in early America by paying out restitution...from our pockets...or go about apologizing for things that we had no direct responsibility for.

Makes no sense.

The modern church leaders and organization speak in their actions. But to take personal...as in personal...responsibility for what others did or said?

This is just another tactic used by critics to try and poke holes in church leadership.

It gets old.

I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy that the church isn’t willing to practice what it preaches.

For the reasons mentioned, I wouldn't expect them to do anything different than what they've done.

We can agree to disagree. ;)
