America’s bishop are starting to weigh in on the Terri Schiavo case, but is it too little too late? Even so, it’s still only a small subset who have spoken out. And is it enough for them to speak out in their own dioceses? Shouldn’t they be assembling on the steps of the US Capitol or in front of the Florida hospice where she’s being kept? Can you imagine what a powerful witness it would be if all of the US bishops, the dozens and dozens of them, all gathered in front of hospice to pray for Terri? It almost makes me weep to realize that it won’t happen, not with this current crop of bishops.
