So in a strange turn of events, the subject of Holy Water came up IRL recently and it got me thinking. I'm a few million miles away from my Catholic upbringing, and never really learned about Protestant practices. So questions, I guess, for my erudite frens:
Is Holy Water a Catholic only thing? If so, how do I obtain it from a truly Godly source? I know the local Catholic church I have passing familiarity with is... Questionable in it's Heart. And I have a feeling buying it from Lourdes is tantamount to blasphemy.
Any advice would be helpful; this idea just popped into my timeline and I feel compelled to pursue it. 100% serious and sincere.
P.s. Think Mirror? Vampires. Etc.
Thanks in advance, yours in Christ.
It is not "catholic nonsense" it is used by the Orthodox church or also known as the Church and has been used even before the schisims that lead into the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox church. The unfortunate thing is the Protestant churches took away a lot from the Church they took away the substance of the Church in favor of something else.
