For example:
a great many distinguished women in history, including several Catholic saints, were also sealed to Joseph Smith in Utah. I saw these astonishing lists in the Latter-day Saint Genealogical Archives in Salt Lake City in 1944.”

Isn't it just as offensive to the Catholic church or any other religious group for that matter to do these things in their name after they are dead? Isn't the practice just really offensive?

I think I find sealing dead single people to dead dudes a lot more offensive than BFD, but that is just me. Jesus is hitched to Mary and Mary and Martha.

Am I correct in thinking that the Church has officially apologised for this type of thing and made a commitment to preventing it happening several times now?

At what point is it safe to assume the Church can't or won't prevent it happening again?

At least God is more respectful than He was back in Old Testament days. It appears He is trying to be more diplomatic about the conversion of people to His religion.
