And it's mostly about Terri, with some remarks by yours truly, such as this regarding the lack of leadership coming from the Bishop of St. Petersburg, Robert Lynch:
"To put it bluntly," Fr. Johansen told me, "Bishop Lynch has been invisible on this matter for the last couple years.
Brian Saint-Paul, the editor of Crisis, also pays me the compliment of calling my Janaury 2004 Crisis article "Killing Terri Schiavo" "the single best overview of the debate" he's seen.
I also offer some thoughts as to what we can do in this situation to help, such as:
"Pray, not just for Terri but for Michael Schiavo and his lawyer, George Felos. After all, people's hearts can be turned."
Since the ruling comes down [yesterday] -- a Friday in Lent -- Catholics have a special opportunity to offer up a sacrifice. Don't underestimate the power of this season."
