I may be in the minority here, but I find it ‘dis-honoring’ the life intentions and faiths of the departed. I checked the list (a link was provided on another thread) and to my dismay, both my deceased parents and great aunts (who were Catholic nuns!!!) were there. So my profoundly Catholic dearly departed could have been baptized (I know in name only) into a faith they knew nothing about. Why should their names, their existance on earth be ‘used’ for the faith of someone alive today who knows nothing of them? If they did know of their lives, why would they ‘baptize’ a Catholic nun Mornon? Why can’t the departed be left to rest in peace?
I totally agreee! In one of my previous jobs, my boss was a mormon. When he explained about their baptism for the dead, he said I had the right to file a document with the LDS Church stating that I did not want to be baptized by them now or in the future. What arrogance!!
BTW - can you post the link from the other thread. I would like to see how many of my ancestors have been baptized by them.
