The church does everything it can to destroy the "human dignity" of everyone who gets suckered into it. Catholics don't care a bit about human beings, so why pretend?

I would delete hate-posts like the one above without comment, but it's not my blog.

One of the great Christian paradoxes is that we must treat all human life with respect and dignity. Even that of the jerk with the first post. Who said following Jesus was easy?

I praise the CDF clarification; watch for the MSM (mainstream media) to get it all wrong now. (We'll see conflation of PVS and brain death; we'll see interchange of coma/PVS, we'll see articles saying N&H can never be withheld or withdrawn [it may be, from an otherwise dying patient- which is of course the DISTINCTION between said patient and PVS, hence the CDF statement], etc. Thanks for posting, Thomas.

Folks,
Have some mercy on the first poster.
I've been following his blogs and he's in alot of pain.
We've all got our breaking point and I'm afraid his was a good deal greater than mine would be.

Let's not forget that Paul was a blasphemer at one point. He became Christian. Go easy on the first poster.

part of respect for human dignity can be removing someone's embarassing and hateful outburst.
