On the face of it I agree that if there is material in A Study in Scarlet that might offend current Mormons, even though the story describes a Mormon Church that no longer exists, it seems alright to just substitute a different Sherlock Holmes novel. Even though I suspect that A Study in Scarlet was selected because it was the first and where the characters were first introduced.

As I said “on the face of it.” But where does it end? Should Elmer Gantry be disallowed for its unflattering portrayal of evangelical Christians? To Kill a Mockingbird for its unflattering portrayal of white southerners? Grapes of Wrath for the criticism of large farm owners, banks, and capitalism in general? I bet there are a lot in the Republican Party as it now exists that would say yes to all of these.
