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.
