  CNN.com - Vatican source: Pope given last rites - Mar 31, 2005
In the Catholic Church, the last rites began as a ritual of healing, but the emphasis shifted over time to forgiving the sins of a dying person as preparation for going to heaven.
Thursday night, as his health deteriorated, the pontiff was given the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church, a Vatican source told CNN.
Last rites -- also known as the sacrament of the sick or extreme unction -- are commonly given to people who are seriously ill as well.

 Last Rites Trailer, Reviews and Schedule for Last Rites | TVGuide.com
One of the worst films of 1988, LAST RITES is a nearly incoherent crime thriller that pits ruggedly handsome New York City parish priest Berenger against a local Mafia clan--which, we later learn, happens to be his own family.
Berenger is forced to shelter a lusty young Mexican woman (Zuniga) who has witnessed one of the hits of the priest's estranged family and is now marked for death herself.

 Anointing of the Sick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The other Last Rites are Confession (if the dying person is physically unable to confess, at least absolution, conditional on the existence of contrition, is given), and the Eucharist, which when administered to the dying is known as "Viaticum", a word whose original meaning in Latin was "provision for the journey".
Presbyterian, Congregationalist/United Church of Christ, Methodist, Lutheran, etc.) all have official yet often optional liturgical rites for the anointing of the sick which are modeled in part on traditional pre-Reformation rites.
In all cases, whether the rite includes anointing, laying on of hands or both, the recipient need not be physically ill. Many churches offer this ritual for the healing of body, mind or spirit to anyone wishing to receive it.

 Last Rites
LAST RITES slyly merges the conventions of the zombie movie with those of the urban action flick, and the result is an extremely rousing and stylish piece of crowd-pleasing entertainment.
For fans of both kinetic action and apocalyptic horror, LAST RITES is worth looking out for when it comes out later this year.

In Last Rites a serious thriller on a sensational topic, a priest falls in love with a woman he is protecting.
Directed with restraint and respect for the subject matter by Donald Bellisario, the film still caused controversy and was criticized because of love scenes between the priest and the woman.
Despite this criticism and despite the fact that the film is somewhat slow and predictable, Last Rites has fine performances by its cast and is an entertaining thriller.

Even as they fight to extend Schiavo's life beyond the March 18 date that her feeding tube is scheduled to be removed, lawyers also filed motions Monday on her last rites and on whether Schiavo will be cremated or buried.
Felos said Michael Schiavo has never barred his wife from receiving the last rites, though the parents dispute that.
Last week, a Vatican cardinal known for his outspokenness said he opposed the removal of the feeding tube, the first time a Vatican official has spoken publicly about the case.

 Last Rites, John Harvey, 0749321423, Dan Staines
Of all the talented crime writers that Britain has produced over the last decade, John Harvey must surely rank amongst the best, and certainly amongst the most critically acclaimed, through his superb series of novels concerning Charlie Resnick and his team from Notts CID, which includes some of the finest crime writing of recent years.
Last Rites finds Charlie and his team trying to deal with the explosion of drug and gun-related violence on the streets of Nottingham, whilst Charlie himself is in a state of limbo, contemplating his apparently stable relationship with a teacher, Hannah Campbell, but still struggling to resolve his relationship with Lynn Kellogg, a prot?g?
On a related note, readers of Last Rites who are new to Resnick might find it more enjoyable to read some of the earlier novels first, since Last Rites often refers to events in the past of some of the characters.

 Anointing of the Sick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The teaching of the Eastern Orthodox Church on the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is similar to that of the Catholic Church.
Mainline Protestants have two sacraments (the Lord's Supper and Baptism) with anointing being deemed one of the rites of the church.
However, all accept that anointing of the sick is an "outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace" which is the definition of a sacrament.

 Last Rites, by Adam Hall
I met one in Berlin, and one in Warsaw, and one in the army truck that was getting us clear after a frontier-bust in Beirut, the tears streaming down her face because she was happy at last, living where she'd always wanted to live: on the brink.
"When my wife was ill," he said bitterly, "last winter, I asked for some caviar for her from the KOB store." This was the special store for the exclusive use of the hierarchy, selling gourmet food and luxury goods brought in from the decadent West.
"Last Rites" and the accompanying image were originally published in the April 1986 issue of Espionage Magazine [Volume 2, Issue 1].

 Last Rites - The Boston Globe
With these developments, Gilbert argues, the pastoral become a ''godforsaken curio," replaced by ''monstrous elegies," which gave poetic testimony to death as a ''bleak termination of life." Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were godparents to the new genre.
In ''As I Ebb'd With the Ocean of Life," he wrote a passage so graphic and bleak (''See, from my dead lips the ooze exuding at last") that James Russell Lowell excised it from the Atlantic Monthly.
In the 20th century, William Carlos Williams, Wallace Stevens, and Sylvia Plath became masters of ''the monstrous." A doctor-poet, Williams brought clinically precise descriptions of death to much of his work.

 Anointing of the Sick
In more basic terms, it is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The ‘continuous rites of penance and anointing’ include: Introductory Rites, Liturgy of Penance, Liturgy of Confirmation, Liturgy of Anointing, Liturgy of Viaticum, and Concluding Rites.
The most important part of the last rites is the reception of the Lord in one’s final Communion, also called "Viaticum" (Latin = that which you take on the road, i.e., provisions for a journey) This special Communion prepares us to travel with the Lord on the final part of our journey.

 Scientists read last rites for Beagle - www.smh.com.au
Deeply disappointed British scientists read the last rites for their missing Mars lander Beagle 2 yesterday, and called for a new space mission to replace the life-seeking probe.
The failure is in stark contrast to the successful landing by the United States of the mobile probes Spirit and Opportunity and to the confirmation last week by Beagle 2's orbiting mothership Mars Express that there is water on Mars.
Pillinger congratulated both NASA and the European Space Agency but insisted the science on Beagle 2 was superior to that on the American probes and urged Europe to seriously consider mounting a new mission to Mars.

Malanowski spoke with Bushnell outside the room, explaining that he wanted to administer the Sacrament of Annointing of the Sick or the Viaticum, the last communion for a Catholic before death.
Malanowski said he would do it, ''because she has the constitutional right to follow her religious beliefs, she has the right to receive communion and I have the obligation as a priest to give her communion.
As WorldNetDaily reported, the Schindlers had been fighting their son-in-law for 10 years over the lack of care and therapy Schiavo as her guardian provided for their daughter, who suffered massive brain damage when she collapsed at her home 13 years ago under mysterious circumstances at the age of 26.

As far as I can tell the ‘last rites’ involve listening to confession and giving bread and wine to people.
It does sound heartless, on the face of things, to say that people who would genuinely feel better with the help of ‘last rites’ should be denied, but a major pandemic would be a full-on emergency condition, and you have to prioritise above things that are so completely unimportant and unproductive.
