Parents keep watch over dying Schiavo (MICHAEL DENIES TERRI FINAL COMMUNION)
Nevada Appeal / Associated Press ^ | March 27, 2005 | Mitch Stacy

(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."

Maybe he is only half Italian.

He doesn't look like any Sicilian I've ever seen-- he looks like an Aryan agent of death.

I thought that, too.

In the conversation that was referred to, no "God haters" were involved at all. It was a despicable accusation, which I believe must have been grounded in grief. I saw everything, and there is no other explanation for it.

I'm not sure, but I think the common Sicilian form is "Lo Schiavo".

Sicilians actually predate what we know as "Italians".
They were the indigenous, *very* ancient race that inhabited Sicily before other invading races showed up.

Terri's husband already had last rites performed for her. A subsequent communion hardly seems appropriate

Are you Catholic??

You are wrong.

It's obvious to all true Christians that Jeb Bush is in the grip of the sin of cowardice. Does he hate God? Well, you can't serve God and mammon. You either hate one or the other. It looks like Jeb Bush hates God right now. He's mad that he has to do something all of the pharisees around him say he can't, and yet he knows he needs to do it. He hates God for reminding him.

Could the Vatican consider Terri for Martyrdom/Blessed status?

Did you read about Felos out there trying to convince the world that Terri looked more beautiful and more peaceful than he's ever seen her before? Truly sick.

Felos is EVIL. To think she has been denied Holy Communion is beyond everything. Bobby looked awful, which tells me our Terri is nearly gone. God speed Terri.. We love you. You will be vindicated.

Communion at the time of death is called "Viaticum", and IS VERY SPECIAL in the Catholic Faith.

You obviously are not well versed in the beliefs of the Church.

Read up a bit more, then come back with a better response.

We all want to believe that we're loving God even as we sin, but in that moment of betrayal, that's in fact what we are doing. Jeb is betraying God's order, and the order of the republic. It's not a stretch at all to say he hates God right now, because, in fact, he loves the status quo of Florida jurisprudence more--even when a starving woman is begging for a glass of water.
