Oh please, cut the Pope some slack. He barely is able to handle his own informaties and you act like he has personal knowledge of this case -- one of 900 million Catholics!! I know one thing, more peole are praying for his death than Terris! (May they both live long!)

The Pope is one of the very few Church leaders who consistently has spoken to the issue of the culture of death that infects this country, whether it be abortion, euthanasia, etc.

Did you not just see the beatification of Mother Theresa of Calcuta this weekend by the Holy Father specifically because of her great work for the dying poor?! Think before you write. Try praying for Terri instead of throwing stones at other Christians!

Not throwing stones. Just stating fact. Those of whom he spoke about before were also only single individuals.

I have respected him for speaking out against the culture of death.

I recall an earlier post recounting a call made to the Vatican.

The response was that it must be left up tyo the American bishops.

Now the cleric on the phone was not infirm but I don't believe neither the Vatican nor the Pope can claim it's not my job, given their past history of attempted intervention.

As far as the Popes health is concerned, he does miraculously well for someone so frail. He was well enough to participate in the recent celebrations.

I don't believe a brief statement would have unduly taxed his health.

I give no one a free pas on this one. Those who do not speak out abet those committing this crime.
