The Catholic Church's most recently-canonized saint , Father Damian, who was famous for his work among the lepers of Hawaii, just got married.
That's a surprise to all who knew him in life as celibate, but according to researcher Helen Radkey, LDS proxies not only performed a baptism after his death so that he can be considered a Mormon; but also performed a wedding ceremony in his behalf so that he can be married in eternity.
“It's blatantly wrong to seal a person who took a vow of celibacy as a Catholic priest and is so revered in his Catholic religion,” said Radkey, a former Catholic. “It's insulting to perform such an action posthumously. It's very disrespectful.”
