ACMESkydiver 0 #27 April 1, 2005 QuoteNot to break anyone's bubble...but it is no longer called last rights, and you can now get it more than once in your life. The Catholic Church realized that the psychological effect of that sacrament could be damaging to someone that had a chance to survive. It is now officially called Annointing of the Sick. No kidding, eh? I didn't know that. With all of the recent 'passings' here, none of the people were Catholic, and I haven't been around a 'Last Rights' for years. I did not know that. That's pretty cool to acknowledge that. (Now then, if we could get our brethren to acknowledge some other issues we have 'overlooked' as a church, we will really be goin' places! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

BillyVance 35 #28 April 1, 2005 QuoteSo now hes on his way upstairs do you think the RC church will change there views on some parts of society that they frown upon? When hell freezes over, most likely. I dunno, but I'm sure they'll want to keep pissing Sinead O'Connor off.

ChasingBlueSky 0 #29 April 1, 2005 QuoteQuoteBoth are fiction...impossible to learn anything real from those two books. They are full of mistruths. Personally it was nearly eight years in the seminary that taught this to me. Chill Winston. That little piece of catholic law was in the book and it was true. Man, I've got to figure out how to get dry humor to translate over the internet better. I knew it was dry humor...but it forces me to roll my eyes everytime someone likes to claim eitehr of the Brown books as fact. Yes, there are facts in it - and he changes the context around them. It's fiction. I will say that when things have changed since I stopped practicing. In that link Universi Dominici Gregis and it's changes happened in 1996 - after I left the Seminary and my studies._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
