Ellie Wiesel Shines Spotlight on Romney Over Controversial Mormon Practice?
"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is under pressure to condemn posthumous Mormon baptisms of Jews and Holocaust victims"
"Romney "should speak to his own church and say they should stop," said Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel in a story in the Huffington Post."
"'I wonder if as a candidate for the presidency Mitt Romney is aware of what his church is doing,' Wiesel continued. 'I hope that if he hears about this that he will speak up.'"
"Wiesel was reacting to news this week that his name, and the names of his father and grandfather, were found on a genealogical database kept by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and used to select deceased souls for a Mormon practice known as proxy baptism."
