That’s why I can believe it rationally but might not adhere to it if I knew someone so ill.

I guess no worse than extending a full Church burial to abortion champion Teddy Kennedy. Between stuff like tbis, the bizarre rantings of Pope Francis and the continuing sex abuse scandal in the Church, I’m surprised anyone still identifies as being Catholic.

“And it’s me, Uncle Bob, that’s calling the shots.”

That is my biggest concern. God is calling the shots. Although I suppose then one could say (as many do) that they won’t pursue any medical treatments at all.

One of the reasons I am no longer a Catholic. This makes me angry. But I am no longer a Catholic so I have no say.

You will always be a Catholic. The mark of your Catholic Baptism is on your soul, and it never goes away!

As usual:

Being Catholic and $2 will get you a cup of coffee

Being Protestant and $2 will get you a cup of coffee and a glass of water.

Gasp! A Catholic bishop thought it was OK to ask for mercy and forgiveness of a sinner who many Catholics deem unsuitable for heaven and they think they should determine who should and shouldn’t be prayed for and save God the trouble of making such decisions (and the real irony is they fail to see this huge load of hubris)....that’s OUTRAGEOUS!
Maybe Y’all should read the Bible more often - that sort of thinking is what got Jonah his special conveyance.....
