I had a polyp removed from my larnyx a couple weeks back. The ONLY pain I had was the Democrats/RINO’s forced Covid test stick up the nose.

The only chemicals I have ever heard of that act like that are NERVE TOXINS; try putting some of that stuff on your finger tips and priest or no priest you will be DEAD before you can even touch the convicted felon, much less give the last rites!

........I THINK that HOW MUCH it hurts depends a lot on WHO is giving it to you. The first nurse a year ago almost killed me. The second one 2 weeks was almost tolerable!

Perhaps I’m missing the essence, but... Can’t the priest perform actions at a distance? Step outside of the room?

As it says in the opening post, "petitioner seeks a narrow, but vitally important, remedy essential to his religious faith: He asks the State to allow his chosen spiritual advisor, Pastor Dana Moore, to perform ministrations in the execution chamber that include laying hands on petitioner and audibly praying over and with petitioner during the final moments of petitioner's life."

These actions are a part of the doctrines in which the condemned man has come to believe while incarcerated. It's not up to the state to override his sincere religious belief; what they do to a guilty man they can also do to an innocent person wrongly convicted.
