With wild gesticulations and loud, gutteral shouts, "Father Steve" jerked
the desperately ill patient back and forth while pelting him with oil,
dousing him with holy water, and beating him vigorously about the head with
a pocket New Testament (the words of Jesus being written in red) in his own
unique version of Xtreme Unction.
