Here in Germany it is really difficult, well, almost impossible to get a priest for confession, communion and unction... <br />Communion for the sick is almost always in the hands of the Extraordinary Minister. <br />Prieste seem to be too busy to come to a sick personĀ“s home or the hospital! <br /><br />Please, pray for faithful priests!Sponsa Agnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301663734306089042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-66921913495966723922010-11-26T17:17:39.550+00:002010-11-26T17:17:39.550+00:00Thanx Richard.

What if an individual is on his death bed, in a state of mortal sin, and a deacon visits to give Communion?<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-72065186714064133842010-11-26T08:26:10.287+00:002010-11-26T08:26:10.287+00:00Thanks Victor.

Therefore, if a dying person receives Holy Communion whilst in a state of grace from a Deacon, that is fine. If they are in a state of mortal sin.......?Richard Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826907710570316952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-69357614437804997362010-11-26T08:01:46.554+00:002010-11-26T08:01:46.554+00:00Touched a sore point there Richard ... see my Blog...Touched a sore point there Richard ... see my Blog post on Tuesday "Rescue Drive" based on a real story.<br /><br />Priests these days (in my experience) are too busy with Ecumenical Meetings, Parish Council and umpteen other important things like playing golf to have to deal with parishioners in need. Parishioners are such a distraction aren't they, to the REAL job of being a priest.<br /><br />Mat I ask a question re your post? If a Deacon attends to give Communion, whereas the individual on his death bed has not been to Confession for years ... does this "count"? How does it work exactly ... receiving Communion without a Confession to a priest? I take it Deacons can't hear Confessions? Am I right?<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-39553940223834149972010-11-25T23:12:17.941+00:002010-11-25T23:12:17.941+00:00That pr0ofessor left the priesthood.

Many students, following a protege of Archbishop Bowen and his heretical Professor of Moral theology at Wonersh, followed his ( te profeesor's) teaching on "fundamental orientation". Something I challenged when I was a full-time hospital chaplain. I had to give some pastoral talks then at Wonersh.But to little avail!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-69807578135985285152010-11-25T23:03:00.510+00:002010-11-25T23:03:00.510+00:00Excellent post!Excellent post!Left-footerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154175028539882422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-52458211537213182052010-11-25T22:41:51.034+00:002010-11-25T22:41:51.034+00:00"Extreme Unction" had a real ring to it...."Extreme Unction" had a real ring to it.
