====Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite==== From the early [[Middle Ages]] until after the Second Vatican Council the sacrament was administered, within the [[Latin Church]], only when [[death]] was approaching and, in practice, bodily recovery was not ordinarily looked for,<ref name=ODCC/> giving rise, as mentioned above to the name "Extreme Unction" (i.e. final anointing). The extraordinary form of the Roman Rite includes anointing of seven parts of the body while saying in Latin: {{blockquote|{{verse translation|lang1=la|Per istam sanctam Uncti贸nem et suam piisimam miseric贸rdiam, ind煤lgeat tibi D贸minus quidquid per (visum, auditorum, odor谩tum, gustum et locuti贸nem, tactum, gressum, lumborum delectationem) deliquisti. |Through this holy unction and His own most tender mercy may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins thou hast committed by (sight, hearing, smell, taste and speech, touch, walking, carnal pleasure).}}}} The last phrase was chosen to correspond to the part of the body that was touched. The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia explains that "the unction of the loins is generally, if not universally, omitted in English-speaking countries, and it is of course everywhere forbidden in case of women".<ref name=CE/> Anointing in the extraordinary form is still permitted under the conditions mentioned in article 9 of the 2007 {{lang|la|italic=unset|[[motu proprio]] ''[[Summorum Pontificum]]''}}.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.sanctamissa.org/en/resources/summorum-pontificum.html| title = Summorum Pontificum, art. 9| access-date = 2008-06-15| archive-date = 2012-10-10| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121010043928/http://www.sanctamissa.org/en/resources/summorum-pontificum.html| url-status = dead}}</ref> In the case of necessity when only a single anointing on the forehead is possible, it suffices for valid administration of the sacrament to use the shortened form: {{blockquote|{{verse translation|lang1=la|Per istam sanctam unctionem indulgeat tibi Dominus, quidquid deliquisti. Amen. |Through this holy anointing, may the Lord pardon thee whatever sins thou hast committed. Amen.}}}} When it becomes opportune, all the anointings are to be supplied together with their respective forms for the integrity of the sacrament. If the [[Conditional sacrament|sacrament is conferred conditionally]], for example, if a person is unconscious, {{lang|la|Si es capax}} ("if you are capable") is added to the beginning of the form, not {{lang|la|Si dispositus es}} ("if you are disposed"). In doubt if the soul has left the body through death, the priest adds, {{lang|la|Si vivis}} ("if you are alive").
