More diaries of our favorite 18th-century Prussian diary-keeper have been unearthed and have been synopsized!

Lol! That makes sense, re rebaptism.

Thank you for all the explanations and filling in some of the gaps in my knowledge! It's one of those topics where I've only picked up scraps by osmosis.

The missing part is that, after the baptism for the dead is performed, the dead person has the choice of whether to accept the baptism or not. That's the consent part.

Ahhh! That solution did not occur to me, thank you.

for example, getting into a ton of trouble at some point because they were trying to baptize Holocaust victims *facepalm*

Yes, see, that's why I was willing to entertain the possibility that this was all a conspiracy theory made up by people who EXTREMELY don't want this baptism!

Probably January!

Excellent! You will be hearing from me then. :D
