What the pope should do is BAN Michael from ANY Catholic church and certainly NOT allow this man to marry there after he murdered his wife through the legal system.

He won't be married in a catholic church,not after the Vatican came out publicly against the Killing of Terri.
The Anglican church may give him a parade however.Surely the gay bishop will oblige.
