Um, why is the Catholic church worried about any Mormon re-baptisms. They don’t actually believe that counts, do they?

In a short few words: respect for the dead.
It is an insult to people who may have died for their faith to say that their faith may not have been enough after all.

Members of the LDS have, at various times, baptized Jews who died in the Holocaust, Catholic martyrs, and so on.

Hmmm. . .something about indulgences and praying for those in purgatory comes to mind.
