JFK's health issues

So why not administer Last Rites to everyone immediately after Baptism?

The difference is the time period during which a person might commit new sins that need to be forgiven. The shorter the period the better. A person on their deathbed has fewer opportunities to commit sins.

Also, the form of absolution near death is different. The priest can’t expect someone on the verge of death to say a bunch of Hail Marys, let alone any bigger acts of atonement.

Your story is contrary to the gossip that he was being shot full of stimulants during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

As I said, I have absolutely no corroboration for my co-worker’s story.

Or perhaps that was WHY he was being shot full of stimulants.
