halacha - Halakhic problem with indirectly effecting posthumous Mormon baptism?


Would there be any halakhic problem with using LDS resources to do family history research, if you knew it would result in deceased Jews being named in posthumous baptism rituals? Or is this completely irrelevant?


(Note that in practice this would not seem to be an issue, as they seem to have policies against posthumously baptizing people that have no connection to church members. In any case, one can certainly look at LDS microfilms without providing the LDS church with any information about the people one is looking for.)
