Isn't George Felos Greek Orthodox? The Pope and the Orthodox Rabbis have weighed in on this situation. Does anyone have a link to a statement from the Greek Orthodox Church, especially with regards to George Felos?
So his client is Catholic and in charge - will Catholic church allow a berial ceremony for a cremated body? In any case common law states that the wife is always buried with the husband's family. Nothing illegal is happening here nor will the courts (nor should they) take into account the parents' religous wishes.

If he ever was, he isn't anymore. He's "moved on" to some sort of new age, zen like stuff...meditation, whatnot.
No, he's Southern Baptist and a Republican, according to all the news reports I've seen. His church recently asked him to resign, perhaps due to all the publicity.
Cheers.
If he is Greek Orthodox he is not practicing it -- or at least he is "separating" his professional life from his spiritual life, which is as good as not believing.
How many nominally Catholic women practice birth control or engage in premarital or extramartial sex? George Felios is not a reason for the Orthodox Church to make a statement. The position of the Church on euthanasia and, in fact, any kind of killing is well known -- complete opposition to killing, period.
Our society has proven to be a barbaric secular caricature of Christan values. We could have at least been merciful enough to end her life quickly and painlessly. There are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people world wide being tortured and killed daily. Sometimes I really appreciate Calvinist views of our depravity.
