Annointing the sick is not only for the dying. I don’t, frankly, see a lot of protestant ministers in the hospitals I’ve worked in.

Would those happen to be Catholic hospitals?

They seem uncomfortable around death, like they don’t know quite what they are supposed to do in a sickroom.

Did you personally watch or observe while they were in visiting the patient? The whole time? Were all of the patients they visited on their deathbed for sure? You know that they were all dying?

How did you determine that they were unsure or uncomfortable? Did they say so or were you reading body language?

Are these facts that they were uncomfortable or was it just your opinion on those you presumed to be ministers? Did you know their denominational affiliation?

Protestant ministers are never denied access to patients at Catholic hospitals. Nor are they ever discouraged. EVER.

Ah, exactly what I was thinking.

Doesn't seem these patients got privacy or respect. Seems like someone should have been reported for infringing on their rights as a patient.
