As Mitt Romney's religion is often placed out there of why he isn't really electable, people's eyes are now set firmly on the Mormon Church. There has always been scrutiny placed on the LDS, but now it's more so than ever.
It's come out over the past few decades that they are posthumously baptizing Jews. Leaders of the Mormon church even met with Jewish leaders in 1995 and agreed to stop. Anne Frank has been posthumously baptized and added to genealogy databases several times.
There are apparently plans to posthumously baptize Holocaust surviving Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel. He was one of the leaders that met with the LDS in 1995 to get them to stop doing it to begin with, so it's not like they don't know his position on this.
I don't care that is it posthumous: Anne died because she was Jewish. There is no denying why she died, or the millions that were killed because of Hitler's hatred. Even if Anne is dead, and we can't ask her for her opinion, what of Elie Wiesel?
With this recent, and at least 9th, baptism of Anne Frank, one has to wonder about what scrutiny this will draw to Mitt Romney. Does this reflect negatively on Romney? He was a Mormon Bishop, and Wiesel himself asked Romney to speak out about this practice, probably once he found out of plans to baptize him once he passed.
I'm not entirely sure what to think about this. Anyone else have any thoughts?
