Thanks for pointing me to your reference. That is most definitely a perversion of Catholic doctrine. While the withholding of food and water isn't completely against Catholic doctrine, I think it is intended to be used conscientiously (which in Terri's case, it is not). These people also seem to not realize that Terri has most likely been misdiagnosed as PVS. She couldn't possibly have just gone into a PVS state unless she had another anoxic episode, because she was talking and communicating with her caregivers early on in her recovery. You're right. I wish there were more good Catholic articles about Terri. There are so many "Catholic" groups these days that have little in common with the Church in Rome.

I ran across an old article today at a Catholic website, that I enjoyed reading, and expressed some thoughts that I have previously expressed here, as well. I am Protestant, so of course, I did not agree with that part. But the Freemasonry part is dead-on, and should be shouted to the rooftops. In fact I posted a comment on that recently, and now find that that excellent site I gave a link to for exposing that Trojan Horse is, today, not available (exceeded its bandwidth, so they say. If it is not receiving massive hits from inquiring minds, than I suspect it struck a nerve somewhere, I am inclined to say. I hope everything's alright there. They were stepping on BIG toes.) I am passing this article along in case you had not seen it.

I am a former MS Lutheran, have attended Methodist and SBaptist churches (the Baptist was my favorite, but the masonic symbols on the altar required me to leave), and I will never be a Catholic, but I also appreciate what the pro-life Catholics are doing. And there are many of them!
Hbr 10:16 This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Hbr/10/16.html Jhn 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
Jhn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Jhn/17/17.html Jhn 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Jhn 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Jhn 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Jhn/17/23.html Jhn 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Jhn/17/26.html 1Jo 4:12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/1Jo/4/12.html 1Cr 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity [LOVE], these three; but the greatest of these [is] charit [LOVE].
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/1Cr/13/13.html Jam 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Jam/2/8.html *** Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Gal/6/2.html 1Jo 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/1Jo/4/7.html Events make me wonder if we are entering the final harvest. I added the above passages for those who might be sitting on the fence. God said His Word would not return to Him void.
