An opinion to which you are entitled, however misinformed it may be.
But there's a very direct relevance here: This pope has made the crusade against the Culture of Death the hallmark of his papacy, not just in his words but in his example. Hence, he refuses to follow the advice of the NYTimes crowd and step down on account of his obviously severe medical problems. This has enraged some people, and these people are generally the "compassionate" types who want to see Terri Schiavo starved and wish the Catholic Church would just butt out of it.
Nope you are wrong. I want Terri to have the opportunity to live and hate the fact that so many say that her life has no worth. From what I see, Greer has ignored important evidence. On the other hand, I have mixed emotions about the courts interfering with the decisions of spouse and parents in these matters. It can lead to abuses and unintended negative consequences that many are unwilling to consider. Am I and other conservatives like me, agents of the culture of death? Please.
I had a kill Terri guy take almost that exact position. Not someone here...someone I know.
Prayers for the Holy Father. I hope its nothing bad! This is too upsetting!
Prayers sent.

Per a Florida Court Staffer on the Michael Savage show...
Judge GREER is legally blind and cannot read his legal briefs given him. He can only make rulings based on what he HEARS from the Lawyers in his courtroom, not sees in writing.
T'is...
the BLIND leading the BLIND vs.
Vulnerable TERRI
NUTS
"Misinformed"
Show me something that reads the Pope has a feeding tube about to be pulled.
I'm not Catholic but there's just something about the position of the Pope. I don't know if all Protestants would agree with me but I've just always thought of him in a fond way. We don't see the same theologically but it's the Pope, something ingrained in you just puts him, not on a pedastal but sort of just a step up. And I've always personally just liked this one. Seemed somewhat more human, more personable than the other Popes in my lifetime. I would join with those in prayers for his health
Your father isn't the Pope, who's been shot, had a tracheotomy and pneumonia.
Being a non catholic, I have noticed the Vatican is very secretive. Is that why no ones talking? Last time he was in the hospital, it was on the news all day. Perhaps the media just sucks?
I agree. There are well over a dozen threads on Terri today. No reason to bring the arguement to a thread on the pope.
Next, the "all Terri all the time" crowd will be linking her fate to Hogzilla on that thread.
But totally consistent.
Nothing I said was a defense of euthanasia nor did I defend slavery. And you know that. I said that there are conservatives that are people of good will that came out in favor of the South and there are people of good will that are reluctant to have court interference in the Schiavo case. It is wrong to paint with such a broad brush. Your emotion is distorting your reason.
reduced the New Testament to "Judge not lest ye be judged."
A.K.A. The "Social Gospel"
It must be comforting to be so consistently irrational. But at least you don't have to do any mental heavy lifting. The pontiff is opposed to the death penalty for murderers. The death penalty clearly reflects the value that our society places on life. Does that make the pope an agent of the culture of death?
PROBABLY NOT
Continued prayers for the Pope.
