Didn't this fellow repent at the end? I hope the Vatican's not laying the groundwork quoting Oscar to one day do quotes from this guy . . . |
Deathbed conversions come pretty cheap IMO. LOL
It actually shows great common sense.

No, they don't come cheap.
The Sacrament of Baptism, where the person repeats the tenets of the Apostles Creed and/or the Nicene Creed -- thus believing in the Catholic Church.
They involve the Sacraments of Reconciliation -- Confession -- a difficult thing to do in light of a lot of people's pride.
The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist -- accepting that Jesus Christ, the Real Presence, is accepted by them.
Usually, the Sacrament of Confirmation -- vowing, if they recover -- to reach out to others and bring them to belief in Catholicism
And finally the Sacrament of the Annointing of the Sick -- which is really the easiest of all.
Bet you didn't realize that five out of the Seven Sacraments were contained in the Last Rites, did you? Especially in a deathbed conversion???????
