[Robert A Cook PE]

Subtle!

If receiving the Host wuld cause her "distress" then NOT receiving food and drink must surely cause her distress..

But WHY the silence on the part of the local bishop?

[Theodore R.]

That's another thing, Robert. The Catholic Church seems strangely silent on this case. For that matter, we haven't heard from Billy or Franklin Graham either, or Jerry Falwell, or Pat Robertson, have we?
