I've got something to add to this.

Please leave all the tin-foil hat jokes out of responses.

I'm a father, husband and a Catholic. I read the Bible regularly. I go to Adoration each Friday night. Maybe my thoughts on the Shiavo case are influenced by these factors.

Am I the only person who's a bit weirded out by what's happening in Florida?

The timing of this whole event during Holy Week is disturbing. The triumph in Congress on Palm Sunday - the day of Christ's triumphant entry into the City. The judges in our temple of justice mirroring the blood lust of the judges in the temple in Pilate's day.

Are these parallels really there (and frighteningly clear) or am I just drifting too deep into my faith?

Now THAT'S a thought I'm amazed has [perhaps] not been voiced before. Paranoid / ecstatic fantasies prepare to be unbound in my head for the next few days awaiting the 2nd coming and my - almost inevitable - damning.

Seriously...every so often something happens that maks me question my lack of faith.

You are right. Too much religious significance. I was reading the other day that Terri is a derivative of the name Tyre in the Bible. Ok I'll get flamed for this...But the person said the Tyre was asking for crumbs from the table. Feeding tubes are crumbs of food mixed with water. Any relevance? I don't know. I guess it's interesting. Read the Bible text and judge for yourself.

Ok be kind when you overwhelm me with your views. Remember, I'm one of YOU

Yes. That has all come to mind for me too. recall that the final Elian Gonzalez events transpired over Easter Week too.

I've wondered, myself. And the Pope is ill. The grieving mother. The betrayer... a regular allegory.

I have the same feelings.
