The Stars That Usher Evening Rose

I might catch some flack from someone with this post especially since the Pope just died. I was just watching the news and they were talking about something the Pope said, several days before he died, about the Terry Schiavo case. The Pope said that pulling the feeding tube was an excution. I thought about that for about a half second and realized that it made no sense. Some people would argue that taking the feeding tube out decided her fate sentencing her to death, but this argument holds no water coming from people who call themselves Christians. The Pope holds the highest position in the Catholic Church which means he is what you would consider a true Christian. True Christians supposedly believe that when someone dies it is their time to die and that God has called them to him. So following that philosophy if you had let God decide when Schiavo should have died then she would have died 15 years ago not just a couple days ago. Humans have kept Terry Schiavo alive these last 15 years not God. Therefore how can the Pope possibly call it an execution? What he should have been saying was, "It was about time."
