What Is Anointing of the Sick?

With Fr Dominic M. Langevin, OP, MDiv, STD, Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology, Vice President and Dean, Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, DC.


What exactly is the Catholic sacrament of anointing of the sick, also known as extreme unction, or the last rites? What happens during the last rites? What is the form and matter of this sacrament? In this latest episode of Aquinas 101, join Fr. Dominic Langevin, OP, a Catholic priest and Dominican friar from the Province of St. Joseph, as he explains what the sacrament of anointing of the sick is, the form and matter of this sacrament, and what happens during the last rites.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
