A 2007 Reuters interview with D. Todd Christofferson has resurfaced, showing the future apostle fielding surprisingly direct questions about Church controversies years before his 2008 call to the Quorum of the Twelve, according to a YouTube analysis by Generally Unquotable. Christofferson was asked about evolution, allegedly hidden historical documents, women and the priesthood, and the Second Coming.

The interview occurred when Christofferson served as a member of the Presidency of the Seventy, a senior leadership position but not yet among the Church's top governing quorum. The video examines how his responses in the interview compare to his later statements as an apostle and to current Church positions on the same issues.

Generally Unquotable's analysis of the 2007 Reuters conversation has drawn over 5,300 views in eight hours since posting, with 107 comments discussing Christofferson's pre-apostle framing of sensitive doctrinal and historical questions.
