New Sighting of Prodigal's Older Brother | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Sadly, Fr. Z is right.  There is no such thing as changing the Magisterium at a press conference - or even at an address to the Vatican's Right to Life conference - yet the latter was used by some Catholics as an excuse to keep poor Terri Schaivo alive when her brain was essentially gone.  Let us hope that this Pope writes officially on both topics.  Even if he changes no docrtine, issuing a letter on not judging others or on reaffirming the traditional teachings on end of life care would be welcome.  Going further would be even better.
