Mormons found the solution in St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians 15:29, where the apostle asks, "Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?" Many Biblical scholars think that Paul was merely mentioning a practice of some early Christians to illustrate the Christian belief in resurrection, but the Mormons took the passage as a mandate. As a result, Mormons today not only baptize, marry, and "seal for time and eternity" living family members to one another...
...Paul, Minn., the reaction was almost as if another leader had been shot. "I haven't felt like this," sobbed one Catholic housewife there, "since Jack Kennedy was killed." No one, as a matter of fact, had died, but one of Roman Catholicism's most articulate and progressive shepherds in the U.S. had been abruptly estranged from his flock. The Most Rev. James P.

(The Italian carabinieri have issued a warrant for Defregger's arrest if he crosses the border, with the deferential provision that he not be handcuffed if he is taken.) "The basic problem," the paper said, "is whether [Defregger] is today, spiritually and morally...
Treasury Under Secretary Paul Volcker last week called the deficit "one cost" of inflation, which raises U.S. export prices and sucks in low-priced imports. To control inflation sufficiently to restore a trade surplus, he added, will take "years rather than months...
