Looking For A Soul In The Machine, Part 3

Further follow-up to Muzzy's article, "Spiritual Battles". In part he states,

Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOA): nothing. Their website homepage seems to be mostly devoted to communication with the faithful over issues related to church life. A search of their site for 'Schiavo' returned zero matches.

A friend (hat tip to Steve) directed me to Orthodoxy Today.Org where one can find abundant commentary from various Greek Orthodox (and other) leaders. If the denominational website is lacking an "official" statement on this subject, one can certainly find many GOA leaders speaking out here. Here is some suggested reading:

1. Statement On The Case Of Terri Schiavo
2. Greek Orthodox Leader: Schiavo "deserves to live"
3. The Martyrdom of Terri Schiavo: Resisting the ministers of death

   It got worse. Fighting for Michael was a cadre of professional euthanasia advocates including lawyer George Felos and Dr. Peter Bambikidas (two fallen sons of the Greek Orthodox Church). Michael appointed Dr. Ronald Cranford, who publicly labels himself "Dr. Humane Death," as a consultant in the case. So far Cranford has spent a total of 45 minutes examining Terri. The deck is clearly stacked against her.

4. Slipping Down The Slope

Some other Orthodox commentators:

1. The Soul of a Controversy: After Terri Schiavo's death, questions remain
2. What's God Got to Do with It? Terri Schiavo makes a place for religion in politics (This is by Denis Boyles, the author of Vile France: Fear, Duplicity, Cowardice and Cheese.)

Also of relevance:

• Orthodox Church is Pro-Life
