I happen to have known the Fr. Bob Curtis who was present at the Duke's baptism.

Batptism!?! Is that what you're now calling last rites given to a comatose man?

My RC father-in-law was a personal friend of Wayne's. He tried to get him to go to church with him for years.

Wayne never went. He was a Presbyterian.

So priests can say whatever they want us to believe, after the fact. My personal experience tells me the truth.

As I said, I don't doubt last rites were given to Wayne at his children's request. I figure my father-in-law sneaked our children in to his priest to get baptized when we weren't looking. Who cares? God knows the truth. If it made my fil happy and comforted, why not?

Wayne suffered for years from lung cancer. It is an agonizingly painful death. Having witnessed that kind of death, I know full-well the patient is usually not conscience at the end.

Wayne's "deathbed conversion" is a myth.

But its vain repetition only proves the desperation of RCs who intend to claim everything for themselves, even the soul of one who was already saved by Christ.

Wayne was awake and alert when he made his conversion. Aside from direct "eye-witness corroboration" from someone I know, there are the reports from his family, including ex-wives, close friends (John Ford) and multiple news paper accounts (many "litter the internet"), and there are the records at St. Paul's in LA and the UCLA medical center.

Contrast that with conjecture and hearsay from a known liar and the conclusion is easy.

No doubt. And your collie was the original Lassie, and your sister discovered the last lost tribe on Papua New Guinea, and your brother was in charge of the Human Genome Project, and your kids are all high ranking officials in the State Department.

NAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! How Dare you!

What a brazenly crazy thing to say! . . .

. . . . EXCEPT FOR THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEMONSTRATIONS, PROOF PAGES POSTED RELENTLESSLY BY THEM HEREON—illustrating that your assertion is likely a weak conservative one compared to the true facts! LOL.
