Holy water?

Roger Hassenforder

Is holy water homeopathic?

If a priest tops up a half full/empty barrel of holy water, would its holiness be diluted and its efficacy reduced, so you'd need more for the spells?

Or would the existing water "imbue" the new water with holiness?

Does the pH, temperature and hardness affect holy waters property?

Is it clear of toxins?

Also, who is liable for any killing any cryptosporidium present?
God or the supplier?

Of course not. Homeopathy is a medical science with a long proven track record of improving health and curing illness. It is a taught and regulated profession, requiring in depth study to be able to practice it, by such bodies as The Homeopathy Research Institute, The Irish School of Homeopathy, and the British Institute of Homeopathy.
Holy Water - is just make believe for the superstitious, the simple minded, and the desperate.

I think if they top it up they bless it again don't they? Thereby making sure that the water that was already there is blessed twice (at least) increasing the strength and potency....so it's definitely not homepathic

To paraphrase you, many, including the NHS, would have you believe that Homeopathy is just make believe for the superstitious, the simple minded, and the desperate. Pot, kettle, black and all that...

I don't know if you're joking here, but homeopathy is very far from medical science

Yes , but at the moment the hosepipe ban is still in effect so if you want to water a plant , you need to get a bucket.

Did they bless the well?
















Well bless you.

A goblet of holy water will cure you, so sayeth that Indiana Jones documentary.

All recharge and abstracted water thus of sufficient holiness

Drink your piss and see if you have any spells cast upon you.

I also have a gripe when the priest invites anybody who is coeliac to sip from the wine chalice instead of eating the bread.
Yes..but isn't the host now gluten free as it's the flesh of Christ?

See, I did listen in religion class.

But picking the wrong one could lead to serious dehydration.

With all the people dipping their hands in the font, it must be full of germs. Would those germs be holy also?

But you mitched part 2 where they explained about how it keeps all the properties it had before.

So if you believe in transubstantiation, coelics can take communion but vegetarians/vegans can't. Right.

The germs combine with the holy water to create super-immunity elixir. I thought everybody knew that!

Exactly. As with all things catholic intelligent and highly educated people (mostly men to be fair) have pondered over every aspect.

But in the change the accidental properties remain. This means that everything that pertains to the senses remains: what it looks like, what it tastes like, the spatial location it occupies, and the effects it has on the body. As such, transubstantiation doesn’t negate the fact that those with celiac disease can still be affected negatively when partaking of the host

That's mad!! And here was me thinking that transubstantiation was just a load of bollocks
