Oil is one of the symbols of the Holy Spirit. It is used in the sacraments of Holy Orders, Baptism, Confirmation, and Annointing of the sick.
The Catholic religion has seven different sacraments. They consist of: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the Anointing of the Sick.
Roman Catholic answerAny Catholic may receive the Sacrament of Anointing either in danger of death or when one has a serious illness.
Anointing of the sick is being blessed before you die. Anointing of the sick includes things like Communion and Confession.Correction:One does not have to be near death to receive the sacrament. Any person with a health condition who is seeking healing can receive it. It is not unusual for parishes to hold annual masses with anointing available for all in attendance.James 5:14
Any Catholic who is seriously ill or awaiting surgery may be anointed. a catholic myself, yes you can get anointed in the Anointing of the Sick
Because anointing of the sick forgives all sins and only priests can do that
Catholicism was the religion of the Catholic Reformation.
Anointing of the Sick is a sacrament in the Catholic Church implying forgiveness of sins and is meant for baptized Catholics. A baptized Christian should seek his own denomination minister for the rite of that particular church. However, in danger of death a baptized non-catholic can be anointed by a catholic priest if he does not have access to his own faith minister. He must personally request the anointing and be aware of the Catholic teaching and indeed desires to be disposed toward the Catholic faith.
Catholic religion and Greek Christianity are somewhat similar, but other Greek religions are not similar to the Catholic religion.
There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, to the best of my knowledge, the only one for which candles are NOT called for is Confession. Of course in an emergency, anointing and baptism could be preformed without candles, but I know of no situations in which a wedding would be such an emergency that they couldn't get candles.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe oil used in the various oils for anointing is pure olive oil. I believe it is purified by the manufacturer from which the diocese purchases it.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Bishop or priest is the proper celebrant of the Anointing of the Sick. It is one of the seven Sacraments and gives grace, and health of soul and body.
Catholic is a religion so if you say what is a catholic i think you are referring that a catholic is a religious person from the catholic religion
