I know that last rites were administered yesterday; I don't think last rites always involve a host as so often patients are not in any condition to receive the host.
A few drops of the host were dropped into her Gastronomy tube.
The Judge ORDERED the priest COULD NOT GIVE IT TO HER BY MOUTH.
JEEZ, they are going to kill her and the excuse for not giving her the HOST by mouth is that SHE MIGHT CHOKE ON IT?
I'm not Catholic, so, correct me if I am wrong, those who are unable to receive the body of Christ through leaven bread, they can still receive Christ by affirming their faith in Him through a simple prayer or praying with others.
"I know that last rites were administered yesterday; I don't think last rites always involve a host as so often patients are not in any condition to receive the host."
You are correct. Last rites is the annoinment of oil to various body parts (making the sign of the cross.)
People who are dying may request a last communion which may have lead the uniformed to believe that it was required to receive last rites.
I've looked it up and provided a link for those who would like to enlighten themselves rather than get exorcized over mis-information.
