He is denying her The Last Rites as well, simply because it includes Communion.

Okay, so now where did this story come from? Or do I have to give you credit for making it up?

Mrs. Schiavo has received Holy Communion and The Last Rites, before the tube was disconnected. Do you have a credible source documenting otherwise?

I thought they gave her last rites but no communion.

I realize that the parents claim to be faithful adherents to the RCC, but I haven't heard or read anything about Terri herself prior to her cardiac arrest. Did she attend upon the ceremonies of the RCC? How do we know she was an RCC adherent (other than being raised in the home of her parents who were adherents)? How do we know she wanted the RCC ceremonies?

This becomes relevant because of the (apparently) forthcoming dispute between the parents and the husband over their wanting her remains buried with RCC ceremony in an RCC cemetery and he (apparently) wants her remains cremated and buried in a family plot. Does anyone know anything about her actual religious practice if any?
