lic Church recently directed dioceses worldwide not to give parish informat=
ion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.<br>
    The move is "an effort to block posthumous rebaptisms," according to an=
 article reported Thursday by Catholic News Service. CNS cites an April 5 l=
etter from the Vatican Congregation for Clergy that directs all Catholic bi=
shops "to keep the Latter-day Saints from microfilming and digitizing infor=
mation contained" in parish registers.<br>
    A main tenet of LDS Church doctrine is to baptize posthumously, by prox=
y, all who have died without an LDS baptism, to enable them the opportunity=
 to accept the faith in an afterlife. Baptisms for the dead are performed i=
n LDS temples worldwide. The church collects birth, death, christening, mar=
riage and other related information of deceased people, from archives and r=
egisters of churches and denominations, when access is permitted.<br>
    The Vatican letter calls LDS baptisms for the dead a "detrimental pract=
ice" and directs each Catholic diocesan bishop "not to cooperate with the e=
rroneous practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," CNS=
 reported.<br>
</blockquote><br>It gets pretty ugly in the paper=B4s comments section:<br>=
   <blockquote>This is just more proof that Brother Brigham was right. The =
great and abominable church, the w***e of all the earth and so on. I hope a=
ll other churches refuse to give out lists of boys under 18 to the catholic=
 church.</blockquote>
