'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You're allowed to give communion to people who aren't mentally there? Do they give communion to people in comas, too? I guess I thought there had to be some kind of volition involved in it, but maybe not.
I do remember reading over the weekend that she was given last rites.
And also my understanding of Catholic practice might be off, but I thought you couldn't receive communion (and maybe Last Rites) without going to confession?
Might be totally wrong and there might be exceptions.
I'd thought they might get away with it:
NBC had a tough night at The Office Tuesday as its imported sitcom, which had shown promise with a strong debut last Thursday, virtually collapsed in its regular Tuesday-night slot. The sitcom, which received generally positive reviews, came in dead last in the ratings with a 4.1/6, losing to Fox's House, MD, which scored an 11.3/17 (and appears to be a genuine surprise hit for the network), CBS's Amazing Race, which garnered a 7.9/12, and even ABC's lackluster Rodney, which drew a 5.4/8. The top-rated show of the night once again was American Idol, which posted a 15.5/24. Together with House, Idol gave Fox a huge lead over its rivals Tuesday night.
but even then, since removing her hydration and nutrition was going to kill her, I don't understand that, either.
There was no reason -- none -- to believe that mouth-feeding her would work. And, so I've read, aspiration pneumonia is a more painful and uglier death than dehydration.
I don't think that I've been to confession since I was confirmed some 25 years ago, but I don't mention that fact to the priest when I go to communion.
Well, I'm telling him now.
You are in SO MUCH TROUBLE.

Up against House, TAR, Veronica Mars if I'm not mistaken - tough slot. Did they promote it at all? I had no idea it wasn't regularly set for Thursdays.
I think VM was in the 8pm slot, and lost it horribly. I've seen Office promos all over the place, too.
Oh, I'm in trouble! Will someone spank me?
OK, my mind just went to a definitely icky priest/punishment place that it did NOT want to go.
I'm pretty sure that you can receive communion in either of the two kinds if necessary. Consecrated wine alone counts. And the Last Rites definitely include provisions for the unconscious dying person.
