5. “If Thou Livest…”
Since JFK was Catholic, a local parish was summoned to perform the church’s Last Rites. Meanwhile, the world had been receiving few updates on Kennedy’s condition, and no one from the outside knew that the president was deceased.
Soon, Father Oscar Huber arrived at Parkland Memorial Hospital and was led into Trauma Room One. The president’s body was already covered in a white sheet. “I didn’t speak to him”, Huber described later, “it was clear he couldn’t answer”. The priest pulled down the sheet a little bit, and that’s how he saw the gaping head wound and fixed eyes. At that moment, he knew JFK was dead.
However, it was unfathomable for him to refuse to perform the last Rites on a recently deceased president. So Huber began his blessing: “If thou livest…” After performing the rite, he comforted Jackie, reassuring her that her husband’s spirit hadn’t yet left his body.
Despite Secret Service warnings to be discreet, Huber became one of the first unofficial sources to confirm JFK’s death. Though the priest denied it afterward, a Time Magazine interviewer reported Huber stating “He’s dead” to an inquiry about the president’s status.
Yeah great for cheating on jackie+having an affair with Marilyn Monroe! Lost key ally Turkey,in Middle East!

This site is probably one of the most miserable clickbait advertisement traps in the internet.
It really sucks— and if you’re smart— you’ll block it … as I am going to.
I think it was all a government plan. No way a man gets shot from behind and the wound is bigger on entrance than exit.
Back in 1960 Kennedy was in broomal, pa. at lawrence park shopping center on his campain when my dad and I were stopped in trafic because of his motorcade. I was only 8 at the time when dad said get in back of the pickup’s bed so I could see him pass by. It was a 2 lane road, sproul rd. well he went by and I sheepishly peeped out of the pickup’s bed and saw Mr. Kennedy and his wife wearing those pill box hats! I will never forget that day . He did have flaming red hair unlike some photos. Dad’s truck was an old ’51 Dodge pickup with those big fenders and running boards. Neat times back then!
I remember I was at my sister’s house and holding my baby while coming down the stairs. We were watching TV and saw it happen. We just sat there and cried. We were in shock as was the rest of the world. Every November 22 we would be together and pray. My other daughter (by marriage) was born that day and the joy we would have shared was completely overshadowed by this horrible event. My sister just passed away, but I still secretly go off by myself and pray. It will never be forgotten. Also seeing Walter Cronkite cry is something that remains in my mind.
I was in High School in class ( History I think ) when the news came over the P A system and the entire school was let out. Everybody was like ” WTF ” , I had never seen the school that still. That’s something I’ll never forget.
Well the truth surely is not what the world was told. I’m for the truth being revealed.
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy. It was a government job
Aw baloney!
