John,
President Bensen is dead. What he said has no bearing anymore regarding the direction and present condition of the Church, let alone the future direction. This responsibility lies upon the shoulders of the current leadership.
If the Church is still under condemnation for not reading the Book of Mormon, the Lord will tell us through his prophet. Otherwise, we are collectively in the clear.
