Italian Priest Accused of Kidnapping Prostitutes

Huh?!

"Priest Cesare Lodeserto, the former head of an Italian foundation that
looks after illegal immigrants, has been making front-page news in Italy since
he was arrested last weekend over accusations he had mistreated Romanian
prostitutes."

Again...huh?!

EVIL -FOR ALL the WORLD TO SEE?

I am so grateful that I was not given the opportunity to view this interview last night! Thank GOD for this, for I would have stayed up all night long from my stomach turning!
I will not give up my peace on this either. NOR my HOPE OR FAITH! GOD IS BIGGER THAN MICHAEL!

Transcript: Michael Schiavo on 'Nightline'
(GET A PAIL OR GARBAGE CAN)

BURY: "Your wife's family and their supporters have been arguing in the most graphic terms that what you are going to allow happen on Friday, in their words, is in effect condemning your wife to a cruel death by starvation. I'd like you to address that charge from them."
SCHIAVO: "That's one of their soapboxes they've been on for a long time. Terry will not be starved to death. Her nutrition and
hydration will be taken away. This happens across this country every day. Death through removing somebody's nutrition is very painless. That has been brought to the courts many of times. Doctors have come in and testified. It is a very
painless procedure.Terry can't — she has no cortex left. She doesn't feel pain. She doesn't feel hunger. So what's going to happen is slowly — her potassium and her electrolytes will slowly diminish and she will drift off to a nice little sleep and eventually pass on to be with God."

This info from a friend (thank you!): Did you know that Michael Schiavo is a medical professional? That's right -- he's not a construction worker or a bank teller, he's a currently-licensed REGISTERED NURSE (Fla. license #9164785 exp. 4/30/05) and a REGISTERED RESPIRATORY THERAPIST (Fla. license #5965 exp. 5/31/05). This information was obtained from a Lexis-Nexis public records search. He, of all people, should know that Terri's death by starvation and dehydration will be excruciatingly painful.

Prayers and ACTION! That's A GOOD PLAN!

Thank YOU and Praise YOU FATHER! Thank YOU and Praise YOU JESUS! Thank YOU and Praise YOU HOLY SPIRIT!

Priestly formation must lead to understanding of ‘spiritual fatherhood’, says bishop

The question is finally raised-“Have we adopted a false sense of privacy by which we do not confront, discipline or visit with our spiritual children?” he asked. “Do we abandon our spiritual children by defining our call to the priesthood as a 9-to-5 profession, with an attitude of ‘Don't call me after hours?’”

I have a vocation as a wife and mother. A priest's vocation is well defined by his parish as he is the "father" of a parish family. I know that because of my vocation I am to accept ALL moments of "service"-walking the floor waiting for a teen to come home, attending to a sick child, preparing and feeding my family--this is MY vocation. I can not at a mere whim decide that I need a vacation nor can I decide that I shall not meet the needs of my family. I am ready 24 hours a day to take care of my family.

Many priests have succumb to this thinking. I pray that all priests will accept the graces and prayers that Catholics are offering around the country in churches and chapels before the Blessed Sacrament. That they will be refreshed and renewed by these prayers and sacrifice. We continue to pray and offer our support as always.

Archbishop Sheen, Terri, & the Francisan Friars-We need a Miracle

We need a miracle-hopefully Archbishop Sheen can help Terri!

Franciscan Friars praying to Archbishop Sheen for miracle for Schiavo

We will PRAY!

The Friars have the following prayer for all of us to pray:
Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and by the working of the Holy Spirit. If it be according to Your Will, glorify Your servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his powerful intercession. Lord, grant that Terri Shiavo’s life be spared and grant her a healing that the world may know the value of every life.

I don't know if I pray that Michael takes the money or not because the thought of it is so horrendous. If he does take it -what does this say about him? something that we already knew?

Prayers of support and protection are needed for Father Nuno Serras Pereira a "Portuguese Catholic priest (who) will be launching a public campaign, with advertisements in the Portuguese press, where he will indicate his refusal to give communion to Catholics who use contraceptives, who seek the assistance of science to conceive a child or those who are in agreement with the country’s actual legislation on abortion."

Father Nuno Serras Pereira explains: “Being unable to enter into personal contact with all parties involved, I inform all Catholics who have advocated, contributed or promoted the death of innocent human beings will be informed of their incapacity to receive Holy Communion”.

Cardinal says some officials to be denied honors

It'll be interesting to see what will actually take place around the country at our Catholic Universities as they prepare for commencement speeches too.
This comment by the Boston Globe gives me suspicion:

In an interview before his speech, McCarrick said he will argue that politicians who disagree with church teachings should be allowed to speak at Catholic colleges but should not receive honorary degrees.

Should be allowed to still speak at Catholic colleges? Really? Our children (at the expense of parent's hard earned money to pay the high tutition at these colleges) should have their ears and minds subjected to their speeches? At the risk of having their own souls touched by these people?

I hope and pray that there's more information about this interview.

The coming crackdown on blogging

So does this mean that when the 2008 Presidential Election takes place that I won't be able to blog about what's happening because it may be considered a campaign "blog"? And therefore considered a campaign contribution? Oh my gosh! Then I won't be able to step in and help the candidate I think would be strongest to defeat "Bill-ary"! Get ready...no more free-speech on the internet!

'Clear and Convincing Evidence' of Schiavo's Wishes Challenged

My Letter to My Congressmen

Dear Congressmen,
Please make every effort to save the life of Florida resident Terri Schindler Schiavo from the inhumane treatment of starvation and dehydration-her slow death. Her executioners should be stopped at all costs!
Please work to pass Congressman David Weldon's (R-FL) legislation titled the Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act (Terri's Law). I expect you to pass this law at all COSTS as Terri is a defenseless disabled woman with many that support and love her even out side of her own family and friends. It is deplorable and an abomination to mankind and these United States that we as a country are allowing this to take place when we wouldn't allow the beached dolphins in the Florida Keys to go through this death--by dehydration and starvation.

Thank you for taking the time to address this serious moment in the history of the United States.

FIGHT FOR LIFE!

May God Bless your efforts and Terri.

Sincerely,

Congress Steps in on Terri Schiavo Case

This just in an email to from the Family Research Council.
Please pass this information along to all email lists and alerts!
Time is running out for Terri and her parents.

Congress Steps in on Terri Schiavo Case
http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=WU05C03

Congressman David Weldon (R-FL), a medical doctor, plans to introduce legislation titled the Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act (Terri's Law), which will hopefully help save Terri Schiavo's life. The legislation would give Terri and others in similar situations the same constitutional protection of due process as death row inmates. Already this week, attorneys for Terri's parents have filed six different motions to help save their daughter, all of which are now on appeal. Dr. Weldon's legislation would allow Terri to have her own counsel who can argue her case, a right given to any criminal in the United States. Terri is, of course, not a criminal but a woman fighting for her life. As Terri's fight intensifies, I cannot be more frank on the fate of this poor woman if her husband has his way. If Terri's feeding tubes are removed, she will face a slow death through starvation, which can take anywhere from 7 to 30 days. Terri's parents, as do Congressman Weldon and I, truly believe Terri is alive and deserves to continue living.

Please call, e-mail, AND fax your U.S. representative to support Terri's Law -- truly life-saving legislation. Time is of the essence.

The gloves are off now---Chaput in Denver-
Lunch crowd challenges Chaput Catholic leader fields politics, sex and abortion questions after speech

"Why do (religions) feel they have to impose their views on us?" asked one woman during a spirited question-and-answer session following Chaput's speech to the City Club of Denver. "If we don't - you'll impose your views on us," Chaput shot back to murmurs from the group of about 120 business and civic leaders."

"For religious believers not to advance their convictions about public morality in public debate is not an example of tolerance - it's a lack of courage," Chaput said in his prepared remarks.

Terri latest info-Judge Greer Denies All Presented Motions

Judge Greer Obstructing Justice; Terri Schiavo and Her Family Flagrantly Denied Due Process by Probate Judge http://www.earnedmedia.org/tf0301.htm

To: National DeskContact: Pamela F. Hennessy for the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, 727-445-1766, phenn@zimp.org CLEARWATER, Fl., March 1 /Christian Wire Service/ --

On February 28, 2005, the parents of Terri Schiavo were informed, through their Attorney David Gibbs, III that Judge George Greer of Pinellas-Pasco's Sixth Judicial Circuit has denied, without access to hearing, motions filed by Terri Schiavo's immediate family for-

• Updated neurological evaluations based on new MRI testing protocols;
• A motion to compel the deposition of Michael Schiavo;
• A petition for extraordinary authority to provide Terri Schiavo with updated rehabilitative protocols;
• A petition for divorce, citing open adultery on the part of Terri Schiavo's husband and guardian;
• An objection to the guardian's annual guardianship plan
• A motion to remove Michael Schiavo as guardian, citing his failure to comply with Florida Law mandated guardianship requirements. This motion dates back to November of 2002, but the court has never ruled on it.

Judge Greer has stated that he will only consider motions from Terri's family as they relate to the death process, which include but are not limited to a motion to allow Terri Schiavo to die at home instead of a Hospice facility, a motion for a Florida burial, and a motion allowing her immediate family uninterrupted access to her throughout the death process.

The Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation finds the actions of Judge Greer reprehensible and a clear denial of the due process rights afforded to Terri Schiavo under Federal and Florida law.

With new medical diagnosis protocols and new levels of rehabilitation protocols, Terri Schiavo's adjudicated condition of 'persistent vegetative state' is no longer equitable and any responsible jurist would eagerly recognize and accommodate more thorough means of determining the disabled woman's true condition – a condition that remains in great dispute.

Additionally, the Foundation finds the behavior of Judge Greer an absolute obstruction of due process for Terri Schiavo by his refusal to hold the guardian accountable for violation of Florida's guardian laws. The guardian has spent Terri Schiavo's medical fund on representing his own legal interests, has denied her necessary medical services, lives in open adultery with his girlfriend and their two children, has petitioned the courts to cremate Terri immediately upon her death and has repeatedly and flagrantly failed to comply with Florida Statutes that mandate the terms of guardianship. Judge Greer couldn't be bothered with those details so long as Terri Schiavo's death is a guaranteed outcome.

Statement of Pamela Hennessy, Media Representative of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation: Never in my life have I seen a judge so afraid of the truth. Why is it that admitted criminals are protected to every reasonable measure of law, but our disabled and vulnerable citizens are discarded by the courts as unworthy lives?

YES -Ms Hennessy it is UNBELIEVABLE that we would consider the lives of a FLORIDA MANATEE OR a beached porpoise MORE VALUABLE THEN A HUMAN BEING!
