The inaction and silence of the Catholic bishops has been one of the ugliest things about this.

Particularly revolting was the action of the bishop of Terri Schiavo's diocese, Bp. Lynch, who forbade his clergy to visit her or have anything to do with the case. But then, he's probably too busy drooling over his latest triathelete "Adonis" to have any time for the flock.

*The inaction and silence of the Catholic bishops has been one of the ugliest things about this. *

There are many other bishops across the US who have spoken up. You will find their support at this link.

Note too, that Fr. Rob, who runs the THROWN BACK blog, has been granted permission by his bishop to drive down to FL from MI. He arrived the same day that Terri's feeding tube was re-inserted.

Has anyone checked the USCCB web site for a possible statement?

The hierarchy of the Catholic church has been a disappointment - and not just in Florida.
