Dude should have contacted a Unitarian “Priest” for the last rites, they are more in line with his way of thinking.
If he is still alive then point is moot.
Sounds to this Baptist that the Catholic priest behaved honorably. Why do people who reject Jesus Christ think Jesus Christ has to accept them?
According to Jesus: “Those who believe in the Son are not judged; but those who do not believe have already been judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.”
Unless he was making a confession how did the subject come up?
And did he declare that he was not sorry for enjoying a immoral lifestyle and state that he planned to return to it ASAP?
In which case what did he expect to happen?
These homosexuals want to portray themselves as victims. Their decadent, self-indulgent, perverted lifestyle is incompatible with everything that the church stands for.
He is not a Catholic. He just wants to attack the Catholic Church.
Well, he was un-repentant of his sin.
Repentance is pretty much a key thing here.
Well Father would do the Blessing of the sick.Father would not give him Holy Communion.Obama will call this man and tell him how proud he is of him.
So someone help me out here (I’m not Catholic and I went to public schools) - he was alive enough to complain about not being given last rights, so why did he need last rights?
"Plishka said that a few days after the incident he called the Basilica of the National Shrine, where he has attended Sunday noon Mass for at least a decade. He didn’t know any priests but asked for one on duty to call him back, Plishka said. The priest agreed with the chaplain, Plishka said."
"'He said, he can't give you [Communion] if you continue that lifestyle, if you're an active participant,' he said."
This is an indication of the state of the soul of this homosexual patient, who is now using a sympathetic press to club a good priest.
If the priest was giving last rites, then I am assuming (yes I know the risk) that this patient wanted to confess, repent, and be right with his maker. (though I must admit I have seen and heard of more cases of last rites being done on folks very very near death and mostly non-responsive).
Sounds to me like this ‘patient’ was looking for a way to make a statement that had nothing to do with his eternal salvation
“Plishka said that a few days after the incident he called the Basilica of the National Shrine, where he has attended Sunday noon Mass for at least a decade. He didn’t know any priests but asked for one on duty to call him back, Plishka said. The priest agreed with the chaplain, Plishka said.
“He said, he can’t give you [Communion] if you continue that lifestyle, if you’re an active participant,” he said.”
This guy wants it both ways. He wants to continue in his behavior and thumb his nose at what his church teaches. Then he wants the solace that the church offers.
Actually, according to Scripture, in the end with these two opposite—but both wrong—attitudes and beliefs, both will end up in the Lake of Fire if they don’t mend their ways in this life, IMHO.
This guy will be hailed as a hero, like “Sandra Fluke” girl, by the left. Then Obama and his gang will force the church to give last rite to anybody at any conditions.
Talk about “discernment”!! The priest stopped the moment he realized this SOB wasn’t actually dying!
Anybody else think it a bit odd that the reporter wrote this without, apparently, interviewing the priest?
I am not clicking on that link.
If he’s not dead, then he really didn’t need last rites
The left will soon want to force people to do things like that.
This man should know that if he truly repents of his sins he can be saved, it doesn’t matter what the priest does.
I don’t think he will repent though, he still apparently wraps his identity in his sin.
snd now a priest is to put someone’s personal beliefs above the beliefs they have taken a vow to uphold???
and they say the “gay” agenda is not about denying everyone their own beliefs and their right to them
sorry - tolerance ONLY means I accept someone’s legal right to hold views that I do not agree with, it does not mean I “accept” those views or demonstrate acceptance of them, or act in support of them, or act in any way that participates with them
agreeing to the right to hold the views that are yours, is not an agreement with those views and it is not a recognition of right that MY behavior must change in deference to your views
Mr. Plishka, as you probably know better than I, a big part of that rite is that you’re supposed to be contrite for your sins.
...Well?
