"Also, in general the Baptist denomination supports Terri. There was a link to a FL Baptist paper here somewhere, but I can't locate it at the moment.

Baptists are the 2nd largest denomination in the US, and in most of the South they outnumber Catholics."

Definitely good to get all the Churches involved. I think the Catholic Church is mentioned the most here, since Terri is Catholic and because of the Pope's recent teachings.

Some of the other denominations are doing more for Terri than the Catholic Church and I think this is a big shame. It sounds like it is the Bishop of Florida, who is the stumbling block. I did not know this until today.

Also, I believe Judge Greer is Baptist. I would like to see them actively censor Judge Greer.

google for: Florida Baptist Witness. They always have a reporter here on scene and the photojournalist of their's takes pictures in addition to fine reporting. They also draw comparisons between Hitler and what is going on here in Fla.

Ditto. And that stumbling block would be Bishop Lynch of The St. Petersburg (Terri's) Diocese. The following is still on their website from when Terri was being dehydrated, and denied Holy Communion:

STATEMENT OF THE DIOCESE OF ST. PETERSBURG CONCERNING THE SPIRITUAL WELFARE OF TERRI SCHIAVO

Bishop Robert Lynch and the Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg are grateful for the outpouring of love and compassion expressed to us for Terri Schiavo. (Oh, to be sure!) We share the agony (I'm certain it hurts Bishop Lynch much more than it does Terri!) being felt all over the world on Terri’s behalf.

Terri’s spiritual well being continues to be of paramount importance to Bishop Lynch (Yeah, right.) and all those serving within the Diocese. The spiritual ministry to any person is a private matter (And how!). The Diocese has been involved in helping to provide for Terri’s spiritual needs (Uh huh.). We assure all persons who care for Terri that the spiritual needs of her Catholic faith are being met (Oh, but OF COURSE!) . We ask that such private ministry be respected (Oh, we MUST! And we must respect the privacy of Jody Centonze and Michael Schiavo [aka "the HINO"] and their engagement, and that Bishop Lynch will probably consecrate their marriage as soon as Terri will only cooperate and DIE already! Then will come the time of healing, yada yada.)

We all pray that the Lord will abundantly bless and protect Terri Schiavo (From what? Death??? With her tube pulled??? Are you KIDDING ME???) and her family in their time of need (for a REAL Catholic Bishop).
