Received anointing at healing Mass - wrong?

[e_c]

Actually, I could hardly disagree more with the theses of the author…as one who taught this sacrament, as one who worked with our seminarians and our young priests on the practicalities of when to administer or refrain from administering this sacrament and finally as one who was entrusted with the mandate of pastoral care in health care settings by my bishop.

[Etc.]

The author is plenty qualified too… having taught at a seminary which I can personally attest is a bastion of orthodoxy and common sense in the classroom.

I’m not sure I saw a bit of contradiction between DiNoia’s description and that of the author.

This thread has further convinced me how badly we are in need of a reform of the reform when it comes to Anointing of the Sick.

Don Ruggero and po18guy, you are in my prayers.

God Bless you and keep you.

Our Archdiocese has them frequently and no, people do not have to have a terminal illness to be healed.
You are fine.

Yes.

Ongoing mental health issues are a good reason for being anointed. I get anointed for mine when I can!
