They learned their lesson with the selling of indulgences. That mistake ended up breaking the Church up into the vast array of religions we see today.

Well actually you could buy water from a vending machine a while back. The vending machine was believed to be invented by a chap called 'Hero of Alexandria' and guess what? His machine accepted a coin which dispensed holy water

They didn't learn that it is a wonderful way for a religious establishment to make money. There WERE "holy water" vending machines in ancient times that they could have modeled the modern ones on.....

That would have worked during the Middle Ages but now there would have to be different marketing strategies.
Water in the 12 oz bottle often costs more than gasoline.

Holy water has salt in it, and you could get very ill if you drank it ... but Holy water is NOT 'marketed' because all you have to do to get some is take a container with a 'tight lid' to church (a Catholic or Episcopal church) and 'dip it' into the Baptismal font. It's FREE for all who want it ...even if you want to use if for 'ridiculous' reasons.

1) Because soft drinks are in bigger demand than vampire-hunting tools.
2) For the same reason that they don't market 3.14s for consumption, even if you can eat a pie.

You want a bottle of water that a bunch of people have stuck their fingers in? I think it is sold bottled in Lourdes and a few other places. You can at least fill yours up there.
