That was wrong, it has been stopped.

Direct quote from the article concerend.
"The wrongful posthumous baptism of Jewish dead continues, including that of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal in 2006. The Church continues to posthumously baptize Jewish Holocaust victims. The matter is still unresolved as of the summer of 2008."

Even if they stop it now the damage has been done. How can you undo a desecration of someones memory? I know for a fact that if any of my ancestors, including my granfather and his father before him, who were both Rusian Orthodox priests, were subjected to this ridiculous ritual it would cause no end of upset in the family.

Some have likened this to the forced baptism of Jews by Catholics or to the desecration of graves by Satanists. I am not willing to go that far myself but it is a good indicator of the strength of feeling against it and why it should stop. I am asking no-one to leave their religion. Just that their religion should leave other people alone. Yours very obviously doesn't and you are happy to carry on making excuses for it. As long as you continue to preach that trying to inflict your views on other people, both alive and dead, is OK then I will continue to oppose that view.

Cheers
