Terri Denied Holy Communion
The family implored Michael Schiavo to allow Terri Holy Communion on this night after sundown, which is Easter in the Catholic Church. They wanted her to have one tiny piece of the Precious Body of Jesus Christ our Lord and one drop of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Receiving this would be a comfort to Terri's soul. It would NOT stop the process of the court-ordered death sentence. There was NO reason to deny this. In my opinion, this is a VIOLATION of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Since judges say that they are merely interpreting the laws as made by the legislatures, and since the U.S. Constitution supercedes all state Constitutions in matters of conflict, Congress simply cannot enact a law prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Therefore, since the courts are only able to go by the law, they cannot deny Holy Communion to Terri Schiavo.
