My Novus Ordo grandmother has not gone for confession in many many many years and now she is suffering from dementia. She is 95 years old and I am afraid she could die any day now.
What is to do in those cases for demented elderly so they can have a confession and be saved?
She has not gone to confession in years because she does not believe in it. There is no other explanation. One time I did not go to confession for over a year because I was locked up, despite wanting to badly. The fact that she has a hatred of confession in its most pure form ( just not caring about it) means that she needs a miraculous conversion to the faith. She has need to know and love the basics of the Catholic faith. All of her false ideas concerning the one true religion must be hated, just as she now hates the true ideas. I dont believe this is likely to happen. She has hated the Catholic faith and given herself over to her sinful passions. She has gone on sinning without remorse. She has no doubt held to many heresies founded on her love of her own sins.
Therefore I say let her be anathema and excommunicate, and let her reap the miserable reward that she has so diligently sought to obtain. Let her burn in hellfire for all eternity, she wants it that way. Once she goes to hell, let not a single prayer be said for her, because not only is it of no help, but it is an invoking of the powers of darkness who alone shall have dominion over her once she is damned. I wish I could say I was sorry for your loss, but I am not, for this is God's justice.
Then again I could have been Nife to you as Bishop Williamson would say, but someone somewhere has to post the truth, so that when it happens you will know how to continue.
Persevere in the holy faith so you dont end up like her.
