The Spin Is In

If you paid attention to last weeks BIG story , the only certain thing is that spin is everything!!!

Everyday with every new twist the spinmiesters gave their best shots at the trial (and trials of) Terri Schiavo. And each side was certain of their TRUTH, although they opposed each other. The pinnacle of spectacle came when the Schindlers spiritual advisor and Michael Schiavo's lawyer gave opposing views as to Terri's physical state. While George Felos stated that Terri was resting peacefully and that her death was "not imminent", Brother Paul O'Donnell stated otherwise in his statement before the court.

To me the spin comes down to what you believe much more than who you believe. So let me spin it this way... As a Franciscan from Minneapolis, I personally know of Brother O'Donnell and the Franciscan Brothers Of Peace. He would not lie for a cause anymore than I would, or St. Francis would for that matter. George Felos I don't know. But from this review of his book "Litigation As A Spiritual Practice"**, I think I know what he is not.

Peace to you and unspin as best you can. +<:-)


**Does Litigation as a Spiritual Practice mean you can sue the BeJesus out of someone?
