Before you allowed this one priest to drive you out of the Church, did you ever take the time to find out if what he told your mother was actually TRUE?

Are you calling my mother a liar? Or are you calling the priest a liar? Which one?

[Arthur McGowan]

I am saying that if the priest said this, he was uninformed and completely out of line. I didn't mean that your mother's story was untrue; I meant that what the priest said was untrue. Your mother was under no obligation to get your father's permission for surgery, or the bishop's permission. If she had a health problem requiring a hysterectomy, she had an absolute right to get the proper treatment.
