Revelations! Brought to you tonight by the Hemlock Society!

I missed last week's episode, but it was more fun to watch Revelations last night without knowing what's been going on.  And boy, was last night a hoot and a half!  The first twenty minutes or so was an argument for euthanasia.

There's this girl in a coma who's been prophesying in Latin and drawing treasure maps, see, and the Satanists are after her.  But she's safe and sound at the nunnery where the crazy, heretical nun Natasha whatshername is from.  Alas!  The Satanists find Coma Girl and are storming the nunnery, and what does the nun looking after her do? 

Kill her!

That's right.  It's a mercy killing, because the Satanists are going to mutilate and kill her anyway (probably rape her too, though I didn't catch if that was mentioned), and the nun doesn't want Coma Girl to suffer this, so she kills her before the Satanists can get to her.  I think they still mutilate her, but at least the girl is in heaven now.

Come on, how can you argue against euthanasia in that case?  You're obviously a fundamentalist, fanatical right to lifer if you watched that and thought, WHAT THE HELL?  I mean, there has to be an exception clause in the Catechism, right?  "In case of Armaggedon: euthanasia is permitted in order to help people avoid unnecessary suffering or martyrdom." 

It was so utterly offensive, I just had to laugh and laugh.  The nun actually said something like, "I'd rather forfeit my afterlife in heaven so that she can get there now." 

So the only good Catholics on this show are the ones with really, really horrible theology?  I'm not Catholic, but these writers are spewing biased crap.  I can't wait to see what crap they come up with next week for the finale!
