Not mentioned in the article is this "feature" of the new resources:

"For those searching in Catholic records, a Catholic pseudonym is provided so you can fake like you are a descendant of a Catholic and get all the access you want. You can choose from among three pseudonyms: "Harold Benedictine", Saint Francis of Assisily", or "John Fitzhume Kennedy."

Today there were more new collaborations announced to assist anyone in the world to access LDS held records. Many of these British records are Catholic prior to the Church of England takeover of the Catholic churches.

I suspect that there are some embarassed Catholics coming to the LDS Family History Centers these days. The Catholic church has for the time being closed the door to the Mormons but we will continue to leave the door open for Catholics to benefit from their Catholic records we have as well as the other extensive records we have.
