I’ve been supportive of Mormons on this board, and bear no LSD animus, but the idea that they can take steps to baptize or posthumously take liberties with spirits of the dead is, I am sorry to say, outrageous. Not to mention just plain creepy.

The vatican is not prone to issuing statements like this without having a fine understanding of exactly what is done. I’ll take their word for it.

I think this should have been highlighted

Msgr. J. Terrence Fitzgerald -- vicar general of the Diocese of Salt Lake City -- said he didn't understand why the Latter-day Saints church was singled out in this latest Vatican policy regarding parish records.

"We have a policy not to give out baptismal records to anyone unless they are entitled to have them," Msgr. Fitzgerald said of his diocese. "That isn't just for the Church of the Latter-day Saints. That is for all groups."
