TERRI SCHIAVO
Do not permit starvation
In response to a March 2 letter, I would like to offer the following comment:
A nation's true greatness is measured not by its arsenal of nuclear weapons, but by how it treats the most vulnerable of its members.
The Civil War proclaimed to all the world that America was indeed a great nation. If we now permit the starvation of Terri Schiavo, the world will rightly conclude that we have joined the ranks of Nazi Germany.

Excellent letter by the Bishop. He is exactly right. How heartening!
Well that is one Bishop for Terri!
Why doesn't he call Bishop Lynch and tell him how to write an anti- euthinasia statement on behalf of the Catholic Church!
