The Pope and Terri Schiavo

Another chapter in Life’s Book of Serendipity has just been written; the Pope has a feeding tube.

He is unable to communicate and his quality of life has been deteriorating since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

I’m guessing the Pope does not have a Living Will. Even with a ticket into Heaven already punched, the premature ending of his life is not an option, as it is for Terri Schiavo.

Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass, a throwback to the days when daily newspapers kept politicians honest, unlike their current function of delivering grocery ads, slams our culture’s Orwellian use of words.

The machinery of government is killing an innocent human being.
