Portuguese Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, head of the Vatican's office for sainthood, told reporters that "an attack against life is an attack against God, who is the author of life."
Thank you so much for posting these marvelous words. After the chill I got, they reminded me that when God took Terri's martyred soul into Heaven He will certainly not let her murder go unavenged.
I hope the Pope declares her a martyr, and COMPELS the diocese of the United States to celebrate her feast day every March 31st. The hatred of Christianity was manifest all over the media, in the interviews of Michael Schiavo over the past several years, and on the blogs, all over the op-ed pages. Maureen Dowd's column would be sufficient evidence that hatred of Christianity was behind Terri's murder.
