[TI] Catholic church ban on Mormons accessing Sacramentalrecords.

[Bobbye Gayle]

Sorry folks, but what difference does it make if the Mormans rebaptize us? 
Do you believe God will have to let us go?  We will already be in his hands, 
he won't give us up to another religion no matter what they do.  And as far 
as an atheist government?  I doubt that could ever happen in the US.  I 
think we have learned the lesson from Holocaust.
