My Church Speaks Out

Unless I have missed it, today marks the first time that the Vatican released a STATEMENT on the judge's rulings on the Shindler's appeal of Terri's death sentence.

Needless to say, again the church is right. Why in the world would anyone be opposed to letting the Schindlers care for their daughter? This whole thing just makes no sense. Why would one man, who obviously doesn't want her to live, be allowed to speak for Terri?

Why when all the responsible EVIDENCE points to the FACT that Terri could regain some semblance of life, would anyone just simply say, "She must die?"

What does Michael stand to gain? Better still, what does he gain to lose if she does get better?

Any real answers?

If this woman dies, we should all be very ashamed.

HUGELY IMPORTANT UPDATE: It seems that two of our daily commenters have hooked up and formed a blog. GO HERE RIGHT NOW.....The Musings of Two Raving Lunatics....Also on the Super Special Blogrolling Thing as 2 or More are Gathered......

You said: "Needless to say, again the church is right."

Ah yes, sounds like papal infallibility. At least now I know the basis behind why you believe as you do. Nobody is infallible to me. It would be interesting to see what the Catholic Church would do if the Pope were in such a state for 15 years. Obviously, they would keep his body alive indefinitely, but who would be in charge? Just curious.

Paul Mitchell said...

Well, there is a heirarchy. There would absolutely be no disruption of responsibility.

However, if he was incapacitated in Florida, obviously they would pull his trach-tube and let him die.

Man, Erik, I know that you have formulated some educated opinions on this. I just say that you have on one hand, people that want her to live, and one dude that WANTS her to DIE. Our laws won't allow her to be cared for by people that want her to live.

Something's wrong here, and I don't know what it is. I am far from having all the answers, but it will all come out at some point and I hope we can live with the results.

The Left has been wrong on everything in the recent past, I'm pretty sure that this is just another one of those circumstances.

And Erik, you and I will just have to agree to diagree on this one, it looks like she will be allowed to starve to death. I hope the coma will come before she's in too much pain.

Two dogs, I had the same statement about the Pope's tube over at my place. Great minds think alike!

Wayne World said...

Two Dogs , She feels nothing!!!!! NOTHING!!!!If anyone believed for a second that she was suffering in any way from pain,they would do whatever it took to make her comfortable. The point is that she feels nothing. She reacts to nothing. By Florida laws,her husband is the next of kin , and THEREFORE.....he is the one responsible for making the decision.Just face the facts that she is not going to get better. She is going to be in that state until she dies. You need to put yourself in that position, I know it's hard, but would you keep her alive for 15 years and honor your vows to her to only be with her? Not to mention the bill that would incur after FIFTEEN (15) years of care!!

And what have the Dems been wrong about? It's not that they have been wrong, it's that Republicans are appealing to those JESUS FREAKS! Plus they rigged the elections. I don't give a crap what anyone says!!!Electronic voting my ASSCRACK!

Oh.....Imara and I have our new site up and running. I do hope you and your cronies will stop by!!

Paul Mitchell said...

soundboyz, other than the fact that she actually says the word "pay" and points to her stomach during her menses, yea, I guess she feels no pain.

And as far ass Michael honoring his vows, I would say that two children and 13 years with another woman would say that he hasn't quite fulfilled that duty.

As far as the Liberals right-wrong ratio, I would say that being utterly wrong about everything that has been going on in the Middle East would be a damning start.

Maybe we could include that they haven't make any strides towards getting a majority in the Congress for the last eleven years would seem to point to being on the wrong side of issues as well.

And finally, may I be your site's resident Troll? I promise to do a good job.

Wayne World said...

Come on Two Dogs, have you seen this? This is the Right again playing dirty by digging up some former employee with a grudge against her former employer and using her to lie and spread propaganda! Won't be the first or the last time this slimy shit is tried!!

And you most certainly can be the resident Troll, all you need to do is show up!!!LOL!!!

Paul Mitchell said...

Yea, I've seen this video and I am NOT impressed too much with her. We can continue to debate where this is coming from, but I just don't see it as a right/left issue.

I guess that I more or less view it as something really sinister when you have one party saying LIVE and the other saying DIE concerning someone not even convicted of a crime.

Michael should walk away and let her parents take her home. It is obvious that he does not want her to live and they do.

Wayne World said...

I don't think it's as simple as that. Like you said, i'm sure that there are a lot of things that we don't know on both sides. But as far as the law goes, it is clear that the next of kin has the rights in this matter!

Paul Mitchell said...

Yep, you are right on that one. I just hope she slips into a coma today. The priest is saying that she is very uncomfortable and having trouble blinking because of the dehydration. Damn sad. I am hitting my knees in a minute.

Wayne World said...

> Damn sad. I am hitting my knees in a minute.
For the Priest?

Wayne World said...

Oh.....Sorry....

Paul Mitchell said...

Check this post's update.....

Wayne World said...

Thank you Two Dogs , I appreciate that and I'm sure Imara does as well. However, you are the only raving lunatic we know!!!!LOL!!! Thanks again Two Dogs, I guess there might be some good in you after all!!.............I said "might", don't be gettin' all happy and stuff like that!!

Paul Mitchell said...

I really don't think that your statement is crass at all. I don't think that Terri's quality of life would be one that I would ever choose either, but since we have no way of knowing how she would feel on the situation (sorry I just don't accept what the bastard says) I would hope that we would err on the side of life. It doesn't look like that is going to happen though.

And I have been brought up to never mourn a death, this one is hard for me and I don't even know her.

Wayne World said...

Grow up Two Dogs!!!! This goes on every day in the hood!! Get over it!! I don't mean to make light of Terri's situation, but where were you for the last 15+ years.You don't have to mourn this one either."Err on the side of life".....Cut the crap, you're starting to sound like Bush and his miserable gang of hypocrites!!

Nzyme brought up a good point. No one wants to live like that for any period of time. It must be degrading and humiliating for that person(i'm guessing).Plus, what about the "multiple orgasms"? Don't you see what kind of hell Terri must be going through? I can't go a day without those, and i'm healthy! If I could just find someone else to be there when they happen.........

Paul Mitchell said...

I have decided from now on, I will address soundboyz as Mr. Crazy Person.

Dear Mr. Crazy Person,
I am not familiar with this hood that you refer to, but I am willing to learn. Your humor actual made me smile about the multiple orgasms. Just remember to occasionally switch hands or you will look like a damned freak. Happened to my cousin, Lefty.

Anyhoo, I have only had knowledge of Terri's fight for about three years. When I got actively involved was about two years ago when we had to pull the plug on my wife's grandmother. I was opposed to it then, but kept my damn mouth shut and hated it.

At some point, we will know all there is to know about Michael Shiavo and I am positive that it will not be pretty.

Wayne World said...

Hey Two Dogs, I'm sorry about your grandmother. I hope you have accepted the fact that it was the best for her.I know we would all like for everyone we love to live forever, but there comes a time when the issues of suffering and the quality of life comes in to question.

On a lighter note, you should watch Rush Hour!!Chris Tucker had to explain to Jackie Chan about "the hood" also. Maybe you can watch that and learn something from a black man for a change!!

Paul Mitchell said...

It was my wife's grandmother and I never really knew her, so it's all good.

So, this Chris Tucker can tell me about the 'hood? Is Tucker a teacher or something? I this "Rush Hour" a documentary?

Paul Mitchell said...

Have y'all used the link yet? My start page is actually gizoogle.

And Gizoogle: Horse hair plaster. I laughed my ass off.

Wayne World said...

Nzyme....I think Mr. Two Dogs is being faceti...?.....He's being a smart ASS!!

Paul Mitchell said...

Here, let me try. . Factitious, is that it? What he means is that I'm yanking your chain. Oh, and Jackie Chan movies still suck.

Wayne World said...

LOL!!!!Imara is really on a roll!!

Paul Mitchell said...

From now on, you could just use the Gizoogle translator. And you are most welcome......
