I am wondering how 3 Bishops and 2 Stake President can interview an Aaronic priesthood holder and approve the ordination to Elder, restore priesthood authority and approve temple reccomends and patriarchal blessing interviews; if the gift of discernment does not allow the spirit to talk to these interviewers about the morality and chastity of the person being interviwed.
