 C, BAP. XI�.] s'rtzuz UScos. 43l days in which he conversed with his disciples concerning the kingdom of God and the concerns of the church." Ferrarie says, (in Extreme Uric., No. 4,) "This sacrament was prnh* My' instituted after the resurrection, when Christ instituted penitence, of which the Council of Trent says, extreme unction is the consummation." Ill. The mat. This is divided into the prow/mats and remote. oilof 'I'he remote matter is olives, blessed by a bishop; but a com- mon priest, in case of necessity, may bless the oil; yet not withem license from the pope: though some say that a bishop may grant such a license, yet this is doubted by most, and especially by Plus V. When the blessed oil is about to hil, and no other can be obtained, the following expedient is resorted to: "According to the Roman Ritual, a priest may mix unblessed oil with the blessed, in less quantity however than the remaining blessed oil; otherwise the blessed oil would cease to exist, when the greater part was not blessed, and ;* could not be said that it morally remained the same blessed oil. "�d as it has been very much questioned whether this mixture could be done more than once, Plus I�. confirms the decree of the holy con- egation of the 23d of September, 1682, in which it was resolved "that the unblessed oil could be added to the blessed many times, so that the oil added, considered separately, and in each mixture, should be in less quantity than the blessed oil, although, all the additions con- sidered, the quantity of the unblessed was greater."t The proximate matter of the sacrament is anointing, or the use and ,,pplication of oil. There are seven saointings, viz., five for the five senses, viz., ss, ss, , utk, sad hats, then the bat andre. Others add another anointing on the reins or k/daeys. When the organ is double, as of the eyes, then each is anointed under once uttering of the form; but care must be taken that the form be not finished botbre each organ is anointed, because otherwise the latter anointing is ren- dered vain. When any organ i wanting, as eyes to the blind, the places of these are anointed. The anointing in all cases mtmt be made in the form of a cross, though this is not deemed essential. "The anointing may be made by the thumb, or by a rod, at the will of' the administrator. But if the infection of the oil is feared, suppo, m of madnasa, a separate rod may' be used for each anointing, which rod is then to be burned; or, at leant, the rod at each unction, before it is redipped in the oil, should be cleansed by the tow (stoppare) by which each organ i8 wiped. Moreover, respecting the cicausing of the an- onted organs, the Pastoral Manual prescribes, ' If the minister in acred things, or the priest hinmelf, after each unction, should wipe the an. sintad parts with a new globule of 8ilk or tow, let him leave them by' in a clean vessel and burn them ;' but if the fire is not at hand, it my' be committed to the domestics.": It has been disputed much "wlmther the anointinl of the and re/ns, is necessary for this sacrament,*' and the practice is ac- cordingly different. Dens, and especially Pope Benedict X[�., treat thi topic, as referred to in th margin, with great nicety. ;,fim,, No. 3.  Idom, No. 4.
