FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The Church, in a written statement, put responsibility for the matter on a
single Mormon who it said was disciplined for the actions. The statement did
not identify the person.
“We sincerely regret that the actions of an individual member of the Church
led to the inappropriate submission of these names,” Michael Purdy, a
spokesman for the Church, said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
“We consider this a serious breach of our protocol and we have suspended
indefinitely this person’s ability to access our genealogy records,” Mr
Purdy added.
“The policy of the Church is that members can request these baptisms only for
their own ancestors. Proxy baptisms of Holocaust victims are strictly
prohibited,” Mr Purdy said.
The apology by the Mormon Church came on the same day that Holocaust survivor
and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel called on Republican US presidential
candidate and prominent Mormon Mitt Romney to address the issue after
Wiesel’s own Holocaust victim parents were similarly baptised by the Mormon
church.
Rabbi Cooper participated in meetings between Jews and Mormon officials since
1995 in an effort to halt such posthumous baptisms.
“A heartfelt apology is certainly appropriate, but it rings hollow if it keeps
happening again and again,” he said.
Rabbi Cooper, who knew Wiesenthal for 30 years, said he would have been deeply
hurt by the baptisms.
“He revered his mother. She raised him. He was unsuccessful in saving her
during the Second World War,” Rabbi Cooper said. “If Simon Wiesenthal was
alive today, he would be in deep pain.”
