My husband's family was actually in Consiglieri's Washington Ward and knew him very well. Consiglieri's best friend and former missionary companion is Elder Kyle McKay, the current Church Historian, and he is friends with several other General Authorities from his time as an apologist. There is an even more important reason why the Church hasn't touched his membership, but given its sacred and sensitive nature, I don't think I'm permitted to share it here. I'll let you read between the lines.
