Could the local Archbishop of the Catholic Church in her area, make an emergency pastoral ruling and hold that Holy Communion, in this specific case, would be distributed to Terri Schiavo, as blessed by a priest and present in the liquid food that would be delivered by a tube? It does not necessarily have to be bread, in it's physical form.

Accordingly denial of the Holy Eucharist to this young woman via feeding tube, would be an infringement upon her free exercise of religious expression, a violation of her Constitutional rights? Or that feeding tube could be subsituted for oils, for 'Extreme Unction' (Rights of the Dying)?

Brainstorming for ANYTHING here in complete dispair......

Unfortunately, no. I'm not even sure if she's going to receive Last Rites - but I have a feeling they will find it somewhere in their ghoulish beings to allow a priest to rub a sign of the cross in oil on her forehead...

Horror of horrors.

In past years she has already been denied this, and she will be again. She doesn't have the rights of a beaten, starved dog. And where is the National Organization of Women in this? Right, I know, already preoccupied with helping Juanita Broderick.

This is sickening beyond belief, but the judiciary has shown us what is important and who is boss.
