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.

The Catholic Church is VERY remiss in this, they have spoken-out in favor of life for MURDERERS on death row but NOT for an INNOCENT disabled victim like Terri.

I agree, but having lost a lot of their moral authority on the pedophile priest issue they are reluctant to step forward on other moral issues. This is how the Church has been badly crippled by the pedophile priests. Whatever moral issues the Bishops try to address now they can count on the media screeching " You care about this but where were you when children were being molested?" Good question. But this may explain why the Bishops tend to stay on the Left's Reservation these days, the only place they feel safe.
