Good for Jeb! I had read earlier today that he was going to do this.

As for the FL bishops, I think the only good one on this is my bishop, Bp. Victor Galeone of the St. Augustine Diocese. He's only been here about 2 years, and while I initially did not like him because he gave a truly offensive blame-America homily on 9/11, he has emerged as a real pro-life force.

Not only does he issue statements about abortion and euthanasia, he takes positive steps. He is having someone conduct a workshop for Catholic medical personnel on (orthodox) Catholic belief on dying, for example.

So I do have to stand up for at least one of the Florida bishops. (BTW, he is also very strong on family issues, and recently refused to let the Episcopalians use a Catholic church in JAX for a ceremony, because the egregiously pro-homosexual Episcopal presiding bishop Griswold was going to officiate.)

Get out those Rosaries, folks. If ever there was a time to intercede for an innocent human life, this is it.

This is the month of Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. I will be praying my beads every day for Terri.

Pro-life or not, if the man gave a blame-America homily on 9/11 he is a rat.
