Will the Catholic Church marry a couple when the groom is an unrepentant 
murderer?  A major motivation for "putting Terri out of her misery" was to 
remove the impediment to a Catholic wedding that Terri represented.

However, since the Pope has confirmed that killing his wife, however 
disabled, is a mortal sin (well, grave - but we all know Michael knows 
that the Church considers it murder, even if he has rationalized it to 
himself), doesn't that present an impediment - at least until there is 
sincere and public (since Terri's murder was public) repentance?
