Will Pope Benedict become a Mormon after he dies?

They apparently baptized Odin in 1911 - somebody's genealogy pointed to him as an ancestor, so into the drink he went! As the article point out, some folks (notably Orthodox Jews) get very offended by this, but I am at worst merely amused, and recognize the desire of these folks to connect with the ancestors. Even the ones they just wish were their forebearers...

Pope Benedict was baptized at birth and will most likely be baptized again one year after his death, not by his Roman Catholic Church but by a Mormon he never met.

Gain

seemed like an appropriate title, as I have two new lambs on the ground, fine and healthy! 'Bout damn time something around here lived! They're out of one of the Horned Dorset ewes we picked up from Conner Prairie last year, crossed with out Blackie ram. Ugly little suckers, but already bouncing and playing. Hope to have some pics up tomorrow.

Life goes on.
