Clergy group outraged over unprecedented act of Congress

We [...] believe that the unprecedented act of Congress on the Schiavo legislation was irresponsible, and we express outrage especially toward those who took advantage of Schiavo for political gain. While a vigorous debate of the complex issues raised is certainly needed, rhetoric that fuels animosity, violence and even death threats is deplorable and in no way helpful.
