Thanks for pointing that out. (I should have proof-read what I had written; looking at it now, it doesn’t make much sense!) I was in a hurry at the time, and “got ahead of myself” in my thought process. What I was thinking at the time was that Checkie, being the misogynist that he is, didn’t really give a damn about Terri’s plight, and was thinking only of HIMSELF when he stated his position on her death. Please pardon the “gaps” in my thought process!<br /><br />What you said about Schiavo’s plight and about Checkie doubling down and attempting to dogmatize his errors – whether it be Schiavo, una cum, or anything else – is absolutely right. His pride and arrogance will not allow him to do otherwise. Again, thanks for your comment (and for pointing out the “logical gaps”). <br />The Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313770117983560091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932658529918187424.post-45201513519283037272017-04-25T17:34:44.482-07:002017-04-25T17:34:44.482-07:00I am not quite understanding what you are getting ...I am not quite understanding what you are getting at here. Why would self-interest in and of itself lead one to support the Michael Schiavo side? At the time of the events I was thoroughly self-interested and could see that the proper distinctions were not being made and Michael was suspicious. Peresistant vegetative state is not brain dead, it is not even terminal illness where one may licitily refuse life prolonging treatment. PVS is akin to disability, being a rather profound type. Terri could eat, drink etc. like us and like us would die without it. She didn't even strictly need a feeding tube and was able to swallow of I recall the facts. Cekada was just wrong, wrong like he was about una cum, and instead of backing off, or qualifying his input as opinion, he doubled down and attempted to dogmatize it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932658529918187424.post-69406677166143516942017-04-24T06:59:46.881-07:002017-04-24T06:59:46.881-07:00Another reason that Cekada offered his warped opin...Another reason that Cekada offered his warped opinion about Schiavo – perhaps the biggest reason -- is that he cares about no one but HIMSELF. As we said in our last response, he and Dannie are NOT Catholic, but IMPOSTERS imposing as such. (The same goes for Sanborn and Pivarunas.) Theses hucksters are just “playing Church” for the gullible. If they were truly Catholic, they’d preach (and live by) true Catholic principles.

As you said, not everyone was aware of the facts in that case at the time. (Also, many people have “short memories,” and must have those facts REINFORCED again.) And what those facts should tell them is that Dolan and Cekada are NOT CATHOLIC, but self-seeking phonies POSING as “Catholic.”The Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313770117983560091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932658529918187424.post-27390895501218186862017-04-24T06:57:36.034-07:002017-04-24T06:57:36.034-07:00Dave, thanks so much for pointing that out.

The fact is, the SSPX (and FSSP), unlike the scum of the “bishop” led cults, are truly Catholic – and men who care about souls (and have a grasp of REAL moral theology). Dannie, Tony, Big Don, and Pivvy care about nothing but THEMSELVES (and living a life of luxury) – and they and their minions have NO grasp of real moral theology (or anything else Catholic).The Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313770117983560091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932658529918187424.post-47399845483699725822017-04-23T21:20:00.580-07:002017-04-23T21:20:00.580-07:00The sad fact is, that Fr.

Poor Terri was put to death, under the Roe v Wade Law, which will be implemented in the very near future as the progressives enforce an agenda what they deem upon useless humanity. There goes the elderly, sickly, mentally impaired, crippled. How about those old antiquated ritualistic Religious followers of the True Faith, who are an impediment to Lucifer and his forces from hell?<br /><br />Oh yes! All of this is coming under that lied and contrived law to destroy God's Creations. Terri is one, of millions to follow, sooner rather than later.

His article was entitled Hard Cases Make Bad Law or something like that. It was enough for me to end my subscription, and Cekada's intrangisence on this point was enough for me to leave SGG after learning of it.
