(Attorney)Weller said Terri cried when her mother hugged her Saturday night. "She knows what's going on. She was trying to vocalize something with Mary."
"The governor should know that Terri still knows who her mother is, and she's extremely distressed," Weller said. "She's not a vegetable who doesn't know what is happening."
Paul O'Donnell, a Roman Catholic Franciscan monk, said the family unsuccessfully urged Michael Schiavo to allow his wife the sacrament of communion during the holiest feast of the Catholic year. She received last rites the day the feeding tube was pulled.
"This is in violation of her religious rights and freedoms and allows the governor to ... intervene," O'Donnell said, repeating the family's request that the governor take Schiavo into protective custody. "We beg you to have courage and take action."

But you'll get blamed for kicking at all, and you'll be blamed as if you were the one to start it. Funny how that works.
Gotta get out of here, like I said. Too many kind, hurting hearts - they don't need this.
One parting thought: "Unbecoming" might describe those who use Christ's name to bludgeon others.
Yes.
Fine. I'll stop attacking others, in response to baseless attacks. I expect the same courtesy in return.
Fair enough? Or am I asking for... a miracle?
Happy Easter to you, too, Daughterofyourname'stoolongtotype! :)
I'm Protestant and I -strongly- believe that she should have it in accordance with her faith.
You sound like the congresswoman in the legislature who changed her vote from life to death because some women praying outside her office ticked her off. That sure will show those crazy Christians.!
Nonna did those ;-)
Happy Easter, BG. : ) Bye for now.
Agree 100%. However, I am only leaving this thread because of a FReeper grandma I happen to respect alot. I'll let those with hearts full of hate, the Groin-Kickers for Jesus, to stay here unchallenged... For her.
Go make your sammich. Enjoy it. Have a nice day tomorrow with your family....
We're all in this together...we'll get THROUGH this together.
Get thee hence to thy kitchen NOW!
farmer18th,Be nice.
Nite!
I think I can safely say, you've never taken communion.
A woman is being starved to death. Enjoy your easter.
The same way they gave it to her lastweek...they put the sacramental wine in her feeding tube.
Barring that, they could at put a drop of the wine on her tongue and at least fulfill the symbolic part of the act.
Chad? I love you.
Jesus loves you! Sweet dreams.
Catholic communion is not supposed to be chewed. The Host dissolves on the tongue. In Terri's case, a tiny particle could be given to her or a drop of the Precious Blood.
There is no scam.
Give Nonna a big ol' hug from me....;)
