A CATHOLIC VOTERS GUIDE -
THE FIVE NON-NEGOTIABLE ISSUES
Euthanasia
Often disguised by the name "mercy killing," euthanasia also is a form of homicide. No person has a right to take his own life, and no one has the right to take the life of any innocent person.
In euthanasia, the ill or elderly are killed, by action or omission, out of a misplaced sense of compassion, but true compassion cannot include intentionally doing something intrinsically evil to another person (cf. EV 73).
EV John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life)

With all due respect to Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan to whom I am most appreciative, Ms. Schiavo was brutally murdered... in the most horrific and inhumane fashion... in a manner of torture, starvation, and dehydration for which perpetrators are given long prison terms if they perform such monstrous deeds on an animal.

Thank you, Cardinal. Obviously she was killed. It was a civil execution.

Who is it that should be held guilty for this murder? Which is what it really was.

A doctor who is not a believer is always a frustrated doctor. The most advanced techniques, the most advanced medicines, are always met at the exit by the ironic laughter of death; on the other hand, the believer says no to death, he said.
Wise words from a holy man.

No herb that grows will defend against death. Except for the Rose of Sharon. Thank goodness.

War and Politics make strange bedfellows and while there are important differences between Protestants and Catholics, we should stand together on this issue. Christians should side with Terry and Life and against the so-called "quality of life" euthanasia proponents. This is much more than a Catholic opinion.
It is sad that many if not most mainline Protestant denominations have been silent on this issue. But it is time we Protestants demand more from our organizations.

As much as I cherish life and am against euthanasia, Terry Shivo, may she rest in peace, died a decade ago.
To: Monterrosa-24
Christians should side with Terry and Life and against the so-called "quality of life" euthanasia proponents. Yes, that is a very important point. The euthanasia crowd is the same as the abortion crowd who in turn are the collectivists who support national health care. It makes a nice package for managing a population from prebirth to death. And they call Bush Hitler!
