jasJis Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Burnspivey has a point. The parents are usurping the sanctity of the marriage bond. One also has to consider how the husband had also betrayed the sanctity of marriage. Now the problem is can we allow the Government to intercede without opening a pandora's box and allow the Government too much interferring power and we can never recover the freedom of religion we had?

[/quote] The sanctity (literally, 'holiness') of marriage was usurped first by Mr. Schiavo. He has pretty much spat upon every line of his marriage vow. I think the proper solution would be for an ecclesiastical court to step in and see if the marriage can be annulled. It would be interesting to see if they could step in here or if it would be a violation of canon law. Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsspivey Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 [quote name='Jake Huether' date='Mar 8 2005, 03:07 PM'] The sanctity of her marriage was trashed when Terri's hubby started messing with another lady - and having kids with her. This guy surves to lose a lot if Terri is rehabilitated. He has a lot riding on her death. The Shiavo's only wish to preserve the sanctity of Terri's life, the only thing that she has left. May God have mercy on those who partake in her death. [/quote] This may be true, however her parents were the first to violate. It was 1993 when her parents filed their first motion and not until 1997 that his engagement was announced (according to her parents' site). I'm not arguing for what he did, I'm simply pointing out facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 We must also keep in mind that just because a woman (or man) gets married doesn't mean her parents stop loving her. If a child is in an abusive marriage the parents should do what it takes to either mend the marriage so it's not abusive or get the wife separated from the husband. Starving a wife is considered abusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never have really determined the cause of her "accident". Just the facts... We don't have all the facts, but the parents wouldn't have filed a motion for anything if there wasn't something up in the first place. A husband wanting his wife dead is kinda odd. He never even gave her a chance at rehab. One account I read said that a nurse had placed a rag in her hand so that her finger nails wouldn't grow into her palm, and he ordered it removed because it was a form of theropy!

Guest Eremite Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) Her parents aren't violating the sanctity of marriage. The Church permits civil divorce when it is a question of danger to one of the spouses, or their children. Your husband trying to kill you constitutes danger to Terri Schiavo, and her parents justly seek to obtain legal separation of the two (Sacramental separation is not possible, of course). Furthermore, even if Michael Shiavo succeeds in killing his wife, a legal divorce will ensure that he is not allowed to do with Terri whatever he wishes after her death (eg, cremate her).

Dave Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 (edited) The husband doesn't want the proof of his physical abuse of Terri to come out in the open. But X-rays have already shown injuries of that nature. What's even more telling is that one day he said (can't remember if it was to a doctor, nurse, or her parents), "Is the beesh dead yet?" Oh yes, the sanctity of the Schiavo's marriage is being upheld SOOOOOO nicely on Michael Schiavo's part! Edited March 9, 2005 by Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 This is actually good news. Its the longest extension of life support that Terry has been granted. Usually they only extend the appeal for another week before they review it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
