StColette Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Well, considering I bought one of the bottles a long time ago and have since had to have it refilled with Holy Water and my Priest didn't charge me for the holy water. It makes since then that the cost was for the bottle rather than the holy water within the bottle. As since the empty bottles and the filled bottles in our Church's gift shop cost the same amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedict Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) Once again, Phatmasser, you are just completely off and wrong. Dreamweaver never said he had no qualms about them selling holy water nor was his post "complaining about them selling it to witches or non-catholics". The topic of his post is what happens when other religions try to buy and use holy water; does it work or not? Following that, St.Colette explained that it is usually the bottle one is charged for, not the holy water. Without any argument or attempt at proof, you simply assert it is also the holy water you are charged for (you seem to have a little problem with backing up your assertions; talking the talk without walking the walk, I believe they call it). She followed up with the testimony that full and empty bottles of holy water are the same price, strongly implying that one pays for the bottle and not the holy water. To that I add my own testimony. In both my home parish and my school parish, there is a decanter of holy water free for distribution. You can bring in your container and fill it for free at any time. I have availed myself of this several times. Concerning your last post, your first post really had "nothing to do" with the topic of the thread, nor were any explanations forthcoming from you (part of that problem with assertion I mentioned above).

Benedict Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 This was mentioned in the [url="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14001a.htm"]Simony[/url] article: "It is thus unlawful to exchange ecclesiastical benefices by private authority, to accept any payment whatever for holy oils, to sell blessed rosaries or crucifixes. Such objects lose, if sold, all the indulgences previously attached to them (S. Cong. Of Indulg., 12 July, 1847)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
