Is there anything to stop the Pope from blessing all the water on the planet in one big go?

Question

Wouldn't that then remove the need for inconvenient water-blessing every time some more holy water was needed? Does holy water wear out after a while and need re-blessing?

Answer 1

I bet he already has the sneaky wee thing. I bet he sits at night and laughs thinking that all the water in the world is holy water and that every human is now made up of 70% Roman Catholic!!!!


Karma.

Answer 2

The Vatican should buy up all the land downstream from some remote mountain spring, then just bless the spring. All the water coming from the spring would then be Holy. They could then sell off 10-foot-wide stream front properties to water bottlers like Poland Spring and Great Bear, so anyone could go to the store and get a small bottle of "Poland Spring Holy Water" blessed by the Pope.

That's all you'd have to do.

"Oh, dear, would you run to Shop Rite and pick up a bottle of Holy water for me?"

re: Frank J: even better just use New York City tap water instead, except I am not sure if blessing the water main is the same thing as blessing the water that runs through it.

Answer 3

I despise the Catholic Church. It's the falsest church on the entire planet. There should be no Pope.
"Holy water" is nowhere mentioned in the Bible. It's a pagan concoction that the Catholics adopted to attract pagans into Christianity. In other words, they compromised Christianity with Paganism along with saints, Mary, priests, confession, etc.
All un-biblical and all pagan in origin.
So in truth, there is no need for holy water. It's just a myth.

Answer 4

Hey, I guess they figure, the more the water is blessed, the better! One of the many reasons why I left that religion! Won't go there, but will wish you and everyone a happy and safe holiday season! Were you being serious?...oh well, getting baptized in that stuff should have done it from day one, right? LOL

Answer 5

I'm not sure about other christian sects, but "holy water", as I know it, is a part of Catholic tradition. There is more to it than just saying a few fancy words and making the sign of the cross. In fact, I knew one priest whose favorite joke was:

How do you make holy water?
Boil the hell out of it.

Yeah, the joke's bad, but it does go to show that there is a bit more to the ceremony.

Answer 6

You silly atheists! It's a process of osmosis that brings the blessings about. It's like how they magick the wine and crackers into being "me".

If my priests make all the water special and all the bread and wine part of my body...then things become a Holy Mess.

Jesus and Holy Water are like truffles. Great, but in tiny concentrated doses

Answer 8

Here's one that'll get your goat. A Cardinal once blessed the original water main that feeds NYC. So in effect, all NYC water is Holy Water!!! HA!

Answer 9

Blessing the water by priest or pope is just a significant, catholic believe that water will purified us if we are unclean.so we constantly go to church to be clean and at the same time our spiritual self will be strong and make us a good christian

Answer 10

The pope can bless nothing.
"Holy water" is a pagan tradition brought over from the Roman pagan priests...also vestile virgins, the 'godman" pope, confession, clergy and laity and many other so-called Christian "sacraments" or "traditions".
