"Lynch wrote, "At the end of the day the decision to remove Terri's artificial feeding tube will be that of her husband, Michael. It is he who will give the order, not the courts or certainly the governor or the legislature or the medical personnel surrounding and caring for Terri."
Lynch continues, "In other words, as I have said from the beginning of this sad situation, the decision will be made within a family. A significant part of that family feels they are outside of the decision making process and they are in great pain and suffering mightily."
TRANSLATION:
"It's a crying shame that Michael wants to starve and dehydrate Terri to death,
but, after all, he's her husband and should get to do whatever he wants to her.
Who are we to interfere in this sad situation?
It's their private family business, and we should just get out of the way.
"I don't care what the Church or the Pope teaches. That old man is over there in Rome, thousands of miles away. What does he know about this sad family situation and poor Michael and his suffering?
This is MY diocese here, and this is MY church, and I do whatever I want to here in Florida. The Vatican can go suck an egg."
Thanks for making me laugh. It was so encouraging that the Pope - practically on his death bed - issued a statement in support of Terri's life. So VERY DISAPPOINTING that this Bishop uses the Pope's statement for toilet paper. Amazing, isn't it?
Yeah .. he actually made Michael Schiavo god, didn't he? This "bishop" has shattered his vows and allegiance to the tenets of his Church and the unwavering Church precept of the sanctity of life.
I love your translation!
Bishop Lynch has spit in the eye of God! He has forgotten that God will not be mocked!
