Attorney James Bendell, who is well known to traditional Catholics, is promoting a last-minute plan to try to save the life of Mrs. Terri Schindler-Schiavo as she is being starved and dehydrated to death under cover of law. Mr. Bendell is urging Catholics to plead with the Papal Nuncio, the Most Reverend Gabriel Montalvo, and the Holy See to appoint Mrs. Schiavo as a member of the staff of the Vatican Embassy in Washington, D.C. This would provide her with diplomatic immunity and would require the President of the United States of America to act under international law to save her life. Yes, this is a long shot. Some American cardinals and archbishops are opposed to it (would they have been opposed to protected Jews threatened by the Third Reich?). Time is running out. The idea, though, is very good. All it would take to bring it to fruition is for men who think cautiously to dare to act boldly in behalf of a member of the Mystical Body of Christ whose life is being snuffed out by diabolical forces. You may send a letter via facsimile transmission (202-337-4036) to Archbishop Montalvo. And let us pray to Sister Lucia of Fatima for the miracle that it will take to save Terri Schindler-Schiavo's life.
But then there's this:

I hadn't seen them. Thanks. I try to avoid the headlines and commentary because it all makes me physically ill, but then I keep hoping for good news and check. None in sight.
He has Risen, Alleluia!
