That argument gives it a little more credence, but probably not enough. Whether true or not, the reports state that she didn't attend Mass regularly so there is reasonable doubt as to how devout she might have been.

But I don't think we even need to explore that. If withholding the tube is not a choice she can make or has made, which is what the Schindlers are arguing, then a decision by others to withdraw can't be a sin on her part.

It's just a crummy argument.

I wouldn't think it's even close to the only thing they're arguing to Judge Whittemore. Just what the MSM has thought to be ear-tickling.

Hold for a sec.

Here is how it would/could/should (by church standards, if they're followed) go down:

Terri told MS she'd want to die.

No trust in God = despair = suicide.

No what is called by the laymen 'last rites,' and it used to be, she couldn't even be buried on church property.

Which is why it caught me off guard when I heard she was given 'last rites' before they actually commenced to killing her.

Note: I realize there is a proper name for 'last rites.' It's just what I always heard it refered to as, by the Catholics people (other than the priests).

Either the priest was saying in his actions that MS was clearing lying, or the priest was in error to give someone whom he was to believe commited suicide 'last rites.'

Catholics, please forgive me, if I explained it incorrectly.

BTW, I do not believe she told him that.

Sure it is. Someone decides to rape your nieghbor's wife, and you volunteer to knock at her door -- because she knows you and she'll open the door for you? How Kind! Yet by that kindness you become a rapist too. A completely culpable accomplice.
