Terri is a Roman Catholic. The "Easter duty" refers to the obligation to receive Holy Communion during Eastertide. Of course, she is not "damned to hell" for not being physically able to carry out this awesome and precious duty --- intimate bodily contact and union with God --- the most sacred phenomenon which exists in the physical Universe.
Rather, since she is dying, there exists, not a "duty," but a "right" on her part, to receive Holy Communion in preparation for death. This is known as "Viaticum" (pronounced "vee-AT-ee-kum") which in Latin means "on the way with you": the idea being that as you go to God, God is already going with you.
By Canon Law, any priests who knows of a Catholic who is dying, is obliged to make sure he or she is given the Last Rites (Last Rites = Anointing + Viaticum.)
I rejoice that two priests have had the honor of being arrested trying to carry out this obligation.
It should be hundreds of priests. And at least one Bishop. Terri's Bishop, who is accountable before God to minister to his spiritual daughter. Bishop Robert Lynch.
I done told her twice to sign her posts!!
