First, Wisel calling on Romney to make the LDS Church do or not do something is completely absurd. Romney is not a general authority in the Church. He has no say on these matters. And he would have just as little influence if he were U.S. President too. And, even more to the point, it's not up to the general authorities either. They get their marching orders too.

Second, this issue about baptizing Holocaust victims is older than dirt. The LDS Church and Jewish leaders came to an agreement years ago. Of course, that doesn't mean some names of Holocaust victims here and there don't get through when somebody submits them. But it's not intentional on part of the Church.

And that's the point. A name here or there will get through and it's usually not some Jewish group who finds out or causes the initial stink. It's some anti-Mormon group or some individual who has a bone to pick that brings attention to it under the pretense of giving a damn about Jewish Holocaust victims.
