Terri Schiavo's former husband marries
cnn ^ | 1-22-06

Posted on 01/22/2006 11:35:40 AM PST by LouAvul

SAFETY HARBOR, Florida (AP) -- Terri Schiavo's former husband has married his longtime girlfriend, friends and family members say.

Michael Schiavo and his longtime girlfriend, Jodi Centonze, were wed Saturday at a church in Florida. The bride's brother says it was a very emotional ceremony.

Schiavo's former wife, Terri, had suffered severe brain damage more than a decade ago and died last March after her feeding tube was removed.

Michael Schiavo had argued his wife was in a vegetative state, and would not want to be kept alive artificially.

...snip.....

The newlyweds first met in a dentist's office and began a relationship after Terri Schiavo was already in a nursing home. They have two young children.

Yes and if she had been brain dead, she would have needed some kind of life support - not the kind that every baby, Alheimers/dementia patient, comatose etc has - FOOD and WATER.

I'm quite familiar with what you've been supporting. I just don't agree.

Those are not the things she's reported to have said.

My premise, however, is based on the judge's order. He was there. He saw and heard the actual testimony from all those concerned.

If your opinion is based on the "fact" that the judge saw the evidence, it's time to admit you've been wrong. He didn't see any of the evidence.

Anybody have the contact info for Fr. Pavone. He might be willing to take this up.

I think some posters became uncomfortable with the whole subject. Sometimes life gets very uncomfortable, but it still must be dealt with. Some posters got very offensive in their mockery of Terri's murder though, and that was beneath them.

Trust me, I am totally fed up with many aspects of our justice system. Practicing patience is the hardest thing we have to do. Justice will be done eventually, and that's what I keep chanting to myself.

Our Angus was only 9, and he was technically my son's cat. We found the cat treed in the backyard on my son's 7th birthday. The cat grew to let's say become allergic to testosterone. My ex wasn't nice to pets, either. My son worried that when he grew up, Angus wouldn't have anything to do with him, but Angus loved him. When Angus finally limped in, it was too late. He had that nasty smell and I was going to put him down the next day. My son held him all night until he died, then we had a small funeral service the next day. The thing that really stands out about Angus, was that my bf drove down with my daughter and oldest grand baby. He was sitting on the couch reading the paper, and Angus strolled over, and hopped on his lap! We were just talking the other day about the looks on everyone's faces, and how he didn't understand what the big deal was.

I agree that one has to have pets to understand the bond. It's a special bond, and relies on love and trust...just like any relationship.

Yeah, my bf and I have a full plate to deal with, so prayers are appreciated : )

Who among us was really comfortable with it, no matter what side you took?

It seems out of control to me like many other aspects of life today.

Thank you for sharing about Angus. I've had lots of cats over the years, and know that people are more important than animals. They haven't all had the priority in my life like this particular one did. She was special. My children all bonded to someone who came first in their lives. That's why I bonded to my cat more than I would have at any other time in my life, as I am getting older. I have one left and don't want any more after that because if something happens to me, it would have an uncertain future.

I'm sorry about your Angus, and that had to be hard for your son, but the experience will make him a loving person, as if he probably wasn't already.

Can't imagine having a boyfriend at my age. I'm happy you have someone to share your life and interests with.

I certainly wish you well, and you will be in my prayers such as they be, sloppy and spread thin for all the needs. They are still heartfelt if that counts for anything.

You really think any sane human being would wanted to be treated like Terri was? I'm leaning towards her wishes for a divorce though. She was breathing on her own for years, therefore she was alive, and so were her functioning organs. We could go round and round about other abilities that she still possessed, despite deliberate lack of therapy, but why bother.

Terri was murdered. Haleigh Poutre, should they remove food and water, will be murdered, and so will Scott Thomas. The common theme around the three people I have mentioned is that they are victims of a criminal act of domestic violence. Can you at least consider this? Also consider family members who cannot bear watching "their inheritance" slip away, to care for the person who earned the damn money in the first place. As long as the person breathes on their own....they are alive. THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

It's not what I want for anyone, it is about what is right and wrong on a higher level. I wouldn't do to my ex what was done to Terri. To deliberately starve and dehydrate a living being is an unbelievably foul act against God and nature.

If Terri had a living will ordering that no artifical means to keep her alive were to be used, then so be it. No artifical means does not equal nutrition and hydration. I means all the crap my father was hooked up to when he was terminally ill with cancer. Mom couldn't let go, you see, and I couldn't get down there to supervise. My now ex wouldn't give me permission. I don't talk about my dad's last days very often. As a matter of fact, my daddy is not up for discussion.

Luckily for some of you folks, there isn't a law against libel.

Don't tell the Catholic Church to bend its' rules to satisfy your views. There is a problem with the validity of this wedding, without special dispensation. The dispensation just covering the open adultery, nevermind what was done to the first wife.

I'm getting weary of your posts, and until now have never replied to you, because you aren't worth it. Just don't mess around with Canon law statutes, calling them libel. Mmmkay?

I wasn't calling the Canon laws libel, you silly person, nor was I referring in any way, shape or form to the Catholic Church. I was calling the false allegations made and published here at FR by those who don't know what they're talking about "libel."

In other words:
Church - okay.
People who lie about other persons' motives or actions - not okay.

MMMkay?

Well maybe some folks were uncomfortable with Terri and what was going on with her, because they were suckered into doing that to a loved one? I wasn't uncomfortable, I was and still am outrage that a civilized country can do that to a human being. This will be debated for years to come.

By the time Terri's fight became known, my mom had passed on to a much better place...on her own terms. However, I had some nasty dealings with a couple of "care facilities", until I was able to move her to a safe one. I acted on instinct. They lied to me about my mom's ability to swallow, and did not provide therapy for her recovery from hip replacement. She was not safe, therefore I moved her.

This country has become out of control on so many levels. We have obviously been sleeping for the last 50 years. I love my country, but I'm beginning to despise my government. Yeah, there are some good people in our government, but not enough. I wonder what Ronald Reagans thoughts would be, regarding this crisis?

I've had a few special cats in my lifetime. I've had dogs too, but I'm more of a cat person. Angus was a wonderful cat. He tolerated being pawed and petted by infants and toddlers, and never made a mess. He was also notoriously lazy about hunting, lol!

Well, I would personally keep a cat or dog in my life, and make sure that the animal had a place to go if something happened to me. If your pussycat dies, you should think about a trip to the pound to rescue an animal. They use animals for therapy, and my little(he's as fat as a pot bellied pig, and won't be a year old until June!)kitten gives me a lot of pleasure. Hey, I'm just making a suggestion.

My bf and I are 11 months apart, and we really didn't think we'd date again, but my second oldest daughter and he were neighbors. She introduced us : )

There isn't such a thing as a sloppy prayer. I shoot them off all the time. My belief is that the Lord's ears are always open :-D

Not okay. No one here has commited libel, unless you would like to go through and cite specific posts validating your claims. Mr. Schiavo has been known to be abusive, not only with Terri before her hospitalization, but also with a former girlfriend, after his wife's "accident". He was stalking and abusing her, and it is documented in court records.

Now if it were anyone else, what would you say??? To balance this, take Scott Thomas. Have you read up on him? How about Haleigh Poutre? Everyone has a right to a chance to regain some form of functional ability, without biased care givers interfering, and objecting for some kind of gain. Sometimes it is money, sometimes it is to silence the witness. I have always had a feeling that MS was petrified at the thought of Terri regaining any type of communication skills. You and I both have a right to our opinions on this. Lets please remember to keep it civil.

"You are delusional if that's what you think about him."

The facts in this case never mattered to those who supported and advocated starving and dehydrating Terri to death. It was the projection of their own fears and personal experiences of their loved one's which shaped their malformed opinion regarding the reality of Terri Schindler's situation.

"We have obviously been sleeping for the last 50 years."

No, we haven't. Some people on this forum have been aware and acting against this kind of thing for 50 years and some of us for 20, 30 and 40 years. It had a grip on this country long before many of us came of age. And we have been fighting it ever since.

Actually the complaint should go much higher than the diocese and should in fact go all the way to Rome. The marriage of these two in a Catholic Church after their very public and appallingly immoral behavior, sends a confusing and damaging message to the Catholic community and disheartens and demoralizes the Catholic faithful.

I read your post just this moment and agree, Rome should be contacted. (See my post above). Great minds think alike. This cannot be permitted to stand.

Yes, many of the comments made about Terri, her parents and her brothers and sisters were indeed libelous. You should have heard the Schiavo brothers and the libelous remarks they made about Terri, her friends, family and supporters on local talk radio. They are THUGS who use the same tactics as some lying TEAMSTERS I have encountered. I suggest you learn the type so that you are not as easily fooled by them in the future.
