In a statement made public yesterday, but dated February 28th, the Florida Catholic Conference broke their silence regarding brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, who has spent the last ten years in hospice care unable to speak or move.
A Florida judge ruled last week that Terri’s husband, Micheal Schiavo could remove the feeding tube, which provides her with daily food and water, in two weeks.
Many Pro-life organizations have been urging the Florida bishops to speak out for Terri and her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who have vowed to continue the fight to save their daughter’s life.
In their statement, the bishops were quick to point out that “Mrs. Schiavo is not ‘brain dead’ or comatose.”
