*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?

I wonder if Father Rob will be allowed to visit Terri or will be turned away by order of her husband, like Terri's family members have been.

I find it ironic that media coverage has dwindled to nearly nothing since Terri was finally taken to the hospital and re-hydrated via IV tube (I don't know that the feeding tube had been re-inserted before Terri's husband had her removed from the hospital and taken back to the hospice center).

It would be really nice for more priests to step up to the plate. The next time the T.V. cameras pan the front of the hospice I'd love to see a long row of priests standing there.
The last big news on the Catholics was about the cover-up of the child abuse. Standing up for Terri would be a real plus for them.
