From what I read at the time, in FL law, if a husband had done something like getting involved with another woman, he would not be allowed to be the person responsible for decision-making.
The bishops did nothing; Jeb Bush, a Catholic since 1995, did nothing, the courts did not do what they ought to have done.
Moreover, William Buckley, also Catholic, wrote a horrific article which exposed his complete ignorance of all aspects of the situation, including the Catholic moral theology which would apply.
An absolutely abysmal event.
Someone, anyone should have spirited Terri out of the state.
