Happy Halloween.
To make amends for my last post on the new Rome LDS temple, here’s a link to the More Good Foundation’s site devoted to just that, the Rome Mormon Temple: “Following the Development of the Rome, Italy Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”
Not really but the Pope will be getting a new neighbor with an LDS temple in Rome. That will be an interesting rollout. Now the Catholic Church can continue to hinder the work for the dead in its own backyard.
In addition, President Monson announced four more temples in:
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (my beloved D.C. temple, once the mighty east coast bastion is getting crowded out)
- Calgary Alberta, Canada (congratulations Kim)
- Córdoba, Argentina
- “the Greater Kansas City area” (not specified yet, is Independence too much to hope for?).
Just as President Monson announced these temples, the Newsroom wasted no time in shooting out a press package with detailed releases on each temple as you can read at the above links.

David Byrne’s take on the architecture of Mormon temples.

None of this is necessarily important but I thought it was cool. (Thanks, BCC)
An appreciation of the most beautiful temple. I love going to the Washington D.C temple, I was sealed in the Salt Lake temple, but someday I have to go to the Cardston Alberta temple.
