apostate Jesuit Priest on Nightline arguing for the starvation of Terri Schiavo.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I usually don't like Koppel, but he's the only mainstreamer I have heard mention how much the husband will inherit if Terri dies. Was I hearing things, or did this Jesuit say, "Well, we usually leave these matters up to the husband." I was speechless. I don't even wanna know what's in his closet.

I just saw this on CNN:

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) -- In the Florida Senate, even some supporters of a bill that would keep a comatose woman alive were concerned about their actions.

"I keep on thinking 'What if Terri didn't really want this done at all?' May God have mercy on all of us," said Senate President Jim King, a Republican.

Does anyone think that God would judge anyone here for fighting for life?

"Jesuit priest on Night Line arguing for the starvation of Terri Schiavo"

OK , got to comment on that one. A Catholic Hospital will not do 2 things:

They won't perform an abortion

They won't deny food and fluids to a person: g-tube, or no g-tube (wish Terri could be sent to a Catholic hospital for this reason)

But as far as I'm concerned a Jesuit priest is not Catholic- they are Catholic-lite i.e. tastes great, but less fulfilling i.e. Jesuit- "I call myself Catholic, but I don't agree with any of the teachings of The Church". They use the the do-what-feels-good-doctrine.

By the way: Watch out- the left is going to try and spring into action with a massive media dis-information campaign-Terri's in a coma exc.. they will also try to get Jeb Bush with this, But that's ok. Let them. Let the democRATS run against Jeb on a "starve the disabled to death" platform. This is a fundamental difference between the left and the right. It should be made clear to people what the left stands for; i.e. execution of the disabled, weak, those who can't speak up for themselves.. go ahead RATS, run with it.
