E-Frank-(0:41) Who would handle the issue of removing a priest who is preaching heresies? The Bishop or the Parishioners?

Elizabeth (3:56)-My husband passed away from Alzheimer’s. When they let us know he had a seizure we decided to bring him home to die because it seemed like they were being starved. He lasted much longer than the doctors said he would.

Denise (7:14)-We just buried my father in law. The last week of his life we put him on hospice. He was in for 1 week and the hospice doctors did a great job of explaining everything to us about end of life. They didn’t stop us from giving him water. We would use a moist sponge. We had great care!
