yes,I’ve come across a Japanese doing it some years back,but i would wonder if they are changes in monocular structure, if different priest would bless different water,as different level of graces each priest have,would be interesting!

There is indeed a growing threat from listeria risk assessment that the civil public health authorities will ban the font being left with water in it
 
There’s no way to distinguish Holy Water from regular water. Same with a Consecrated and Unconsecrated Host. I guess authorities would be able to tell with the way people treat the Communion wafer, but not the water.
 
Sometimes the wise ones know 😲

In all seriousness some saints and mystics have been able to discern between blessed and unblessed items and probably water too. Not an uncommon ability.

Never say never, laws could be passed that could enable someone to claim it was ‘offensive’.(or any other hypothetical scenario)

Heck , laws may soon be passed where we can’t call a man a man unless they said it was okay. Laws were based on morality found in traditional Judaeo-christian values. Since those values have long been shunned, anything is fair game to interpretation.

I don’t imagine those outlawing holy water would be able to do so.
 
I don’t see this type of law as being enforceable.

And how else would I keep my MIL away?

Would you still use it, knowing it’s a sin?

Its not a sin to practice the Catholic faith, regardless of what civil law suggests. In England, for a considerable period starting in Elizabethan times, celebrating Mass was illegal, and they weren’t sinning by doing so.
 
I find this superstitious at best.

So we are to believe there is a physical change in holy water — a mere sacramental and so occasion of prayer – but no observable physical change in the Eucharist?
 
So said every group of Christians since the first century.

I’ve heard that virtually my whole life, from reading Hal Lindsey’s books , watching Pat Robertson on TV, listening to my Jehovah Witness friend at school. I don’t think that’s a certainty at all.
 
Sacramentals are wonderful, but, they are not required for one to live one’s Faith. The Bible is wonderful, however, there were faithful, serious Catholics for many centuries before there was a Bible.

We need the Sacraments. If the Sacraments become illegal, then, we would all have to be willing to be martyrs!

There is no law to make the Bible illegal in California or Canada.
 
If Holy water was illegal, I would boil the hell out of the regular water!
 
I think your talking about the rule of mortals vs the law of God.
 
Yes I would. When Christianity started saying that the idols of the pagan gods are fake was illegal. The Christians still confessed the truth and paid the price.
The standard is very simple.

Thom, actually There are differences that can be seen with some instruments. there was a famous experiment by a researcher showing the structure of water after blessing

all you need is an electron microscope, for example
