Catholics removing holy water from churches out of virus fears [View all]
Gee, they don't think that Holy Water will protect parishioners from evil any longer? Maybe they will do away with the stupid, superstitious and grossly ineffective practice. Maybe they will quit selling Holy Water for profit. Maybe they will realize their whole lives are based on a joke.
Oh, wait, they already know all that.
One good line from the story on Patheos: At least they’re listening to scientists on this one instead of just praying for immunity.
