Post-Conciliar Death Ministry Masks Spiritual Abandonment

Portal Catholic News Agency describes the Sister Servants of Mary’s ministry to the dying as blending nursing care with generic “spiritual comfort,” conspicuously omitting the sine qua non of Catholic death preparation: the sacraments administered by priests in communion with the true Church. The article focuses on Sister Catherine Bussen’s care for Clinton Jacob, a 93-year-old New Orleans man, emphasizing emotional support while remaining silent about whether he received Last Rites from a validly ordained priest. Another case describes a woman baptized shortly before death by unclear ministerial authority, raising questions about the validity of sacraments under post-conciliar regimes.
