Stop fighting amongst yourselves. In your rage that no one can stop those two monsters, you instead turn your daggers on each other so you can have the satisfaction of taking your revenge on -someone-, anyone, for this injustice. That doesn't sound like what I've always respected about Christianity to me.

I have to agree with Qwinn here. A close friend of mine just got back from Terri's prayer vigil. She reports that soon after Terri was denied Holy Communion, Pat Anderson (Terri's attorney), the Baptist attorney who first took Terri's case (my friend forget her name, but she told me the Baptist attorney was a lovely lady), and Pete Vere (a canon lawyer who is covering the story for the Wanderer) -- all of whom were on the scene -- engaged in a tele-conference call with Chris Ferrara (an attorney and a traditionalist author who frequently writes for the Remnant, which is the Wanderer's main rival) to try and map out some sort of legal strategy.

I'm not sure where Pat stands on other faith issues, but some of the most vicious religious wars these past couple years have pitted Ferrara and Vere against each other. Throw a Baptist into the mix, and you can imagine what would normally happen. However, through the grace of God, this was not the case from what I was told. Chris, Pat and the Baptist are working closely to map out a legal strategy, and Vere is backing them up where civil law intersects with canon law. We need to follow their lead, pray for Terri, and do what we can to prevent this injustice.

That's great that these three are involved. Now if only the Bishop would DO HIS DUTY and stand up for her.

In fact, what we ought to do is flood the diocese with emails demanding he speak out. I'm going to see if I can find the email address and I will post a vanity, asking all to email the Bishop.
