deathbed conversions
One of my favorites is John Wayne, a life-long Presbyterian though his children were raised RC. He may have received last rites on his deathbed at the request of his children, but he was a Protestant till he died.
From Truth Miners, a Christian perspective website that debunks internet rumors and myths (http://truthminers.com/hoaxarticles/john_wayne.htm):
John Wayne was a lifelong Protestant (raised as a Presbyterian), but he was married to a Catholic (in a Catholic ceremony) and his children were raised as Catholics. According to some sources, John Wayne's son Patrick Wayne has stated that his father converted to Catholicism two days before he died.
Many believe that Wayne had converted to Roman Catholicism in 1979 shortly before his death. This was based on information by now deceased journalist Alan Dumas. When Dumas was pressed for further information, he admitted that he had invented the story... However, I now understand that Patrick Wayne claims that his father did convert as a Roman Catholic, but only two days prior to his death.
I wonder if it ever occurs to RCs that fables do not accomplish anything. The PR may go out and influence a few minds, but the truth remains, no matter how uncomfortable it is for Rome.
If Wayne received last rites as he lay dying or unconscious, who cares? God knew his heart. His Protestant heart.
Have you and Quix banded together for new efforts on time travel into alternate realities? It is true that Constantine was baptized on his deathbed, but that supports your points how?
(Sadly, Dr. Eckleburg left the room a few seconds prior to the miraculous last second enlightenment of her father-in-law. He died a happy man.)
I have no doubt. I would feel the same way.
