Parents keep watch over dying Schiavo (MICHAEL DENIES TERRI FINAL COMMUNION)
Nevada Appeal / Associated Press ^ | March 27, 2005 | Mitch Stacy

(Attorney)Weller said Terri cried when her mother hugged her Saturday night. "She knows what's going on. She was trying to vocalize something with Mary."

"The governor should know that Terri still knows who her mother is, and she's extremely distressed," Weller said. "She's not a vegetable who doesn't know what is happening."

Paul O'Donnell, a Roman Catholic Franciscan monk, said the family unsuccessfully urged Michael Schiavo to allow his wife the sacrament of communion during the holiest feast of the Catholic year. She received last rites the day the feeding tube was pulled.

"This is in violation of her religious rights and freedoms and allows the governor to ... intervene," O'Donnell said, repeating the family's request that the governor take Schiavo into protective custody. "We beg you to have courage and take action."

The full article says that she's been placed on morphine to ease the pain of her organs failing.

I thought this was supposed to be a "peaceful and painless" end of life. What a crock

I pray tonight that God will sustain her supernaturally until someone in authority stands up and does what is right to save her, and to punish her oppressors.

Her tormentors deny Communion to themselves. They just don't know it yet.

Did you read about Felos out there trying to convince the world that Terri looked more beautiful and more peaceful than he's ever seen her before? Truly sick.

Bottom line?

They hate God...

On the holiest day of the Christian calendar. Blessed Easter to you EV, and may God bless you for all your efforts.

Thank you. I'm tired to the very bones, and I am going to a sunrise service in front of the hospice. Time for bed.

Rescurrection Day...a yearly reminder that we win in the end...not by human power or plan, but by the plan and the grace of our Lord who was willing to suffer and die an unspeakable death on behalf of all of us.

God bless you too, friend.

It's total inversion. Ever since my priest taught me the concept I see the world much more clearly. Evil is beautiful to evil. To them, goodness and light are evil. Everything is opposite.

Now when I encounter these types of people or situations I can understand where I didn't before.

I thought the same thing. The Lord could sustain her without food or water. Wouldn't that be awesome if he would heal her and let her start talking, and show the world what a horrible mistake this is.

So its o.k. to deprive a Catholic one of the sacraments and not one civil rights organization comes to her aid. But deprive a Muslim his right to talk to allah or an atheist their right to the seperation of church and state, and the Anti-civil Liberties Union will be all over it like white on rice.

It just isn't right. This has nothing to do with her right to live.

I think that all the judges should be forced to witness her death.

Not only is her husband officially forcing her to commit suicide (a mortal sin),
and causing her scandal by asserting that it was her wish to do so,

but he is also denying her Viaticum, a direct violation of her First Amendment rights to practice her religion.


THIS NEED FEDERAL ACTION IMMEDIATELY FROM PRESIDENT BUSH.

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN IS BEING PERSECUTED AND DENIED HER RELIGIOUS RIGHTS.

Judge Greer better think twice. He is legally blind and dependent on others to drive him around.

He is a prime target for extermination in the new order.

This is just mind-blowing, and many may already know, but please read this from this Catholic Media Coalition article.

EV, disagreement with you on some of the finer points of this case does not equate to hating God, and you know it.

I understand you are distraught, but this is a terribly irresponsible thing to say. You shouldn't be trying to give others a false impression of your conversation on another thread.

Do you know if Michael is (technically) Catholic like Terri?

The guy needs an official excommunication ASAP if he is.
