As lay eucharistic minister, did you ever get to preside over a
wedding? Or give last rites? Or raise the dead?
Only a priest can perform the sacraments.
Does that include performing a service of burial and/or last rites? I
mean, I guess it does, but that causes me to wonder how burials at sea
were/are handled when a priest isn't on the ship.
Burials at sea don't happen anymore except by special arrangement and
request. Last rites (extreme unction as it was once known) can only be
performed by a priest. "Back in the day", I assume that any last rites
performed on Catholic sailors buried at sea were done symbolically ex
post facto since they could not maintain the dead body on the ship.
And I'm sure there were few priests that went to sea... maybe a few on
occasion in the Spanish, French, Italian, or Portuguese navies, but
none, I feel safe to say, in the American Navy, and positively none in
the British Navy.
If a crewmember died in an accident on the Yorktown while you were sixteen
hundred nautical miles south of Eniwetok, for example, would you have
frozen him and meanwhile contacted his next of kin to inform them of the
sad news, etc. etc.? If the next of kin (let's say a distant uncle, the
crewmember otherwise being orphaned and with no spouse or offspring) said
"bury him at sea" you'd have stuck him in a body bag, weighted him down,
and slid him off the fantail?
You don't slide'em off the fantail.
What are you? Stupid or somethin'?
