@Ken – 50%? I guess majority rules in case of holiness.

@Michael Holmes – Yes, you can’t argue against precaution. I’m not of the Catholic faith, but do people injest Holy Water found at the front of church entrances? If not, why succumb to such paranoia? The issue is interesting theologically since Roman tradition believes in actual transubstantiation upon consecration of the bread and wine used in Holy Eucharist. If you take that view, is filtration, sanitization, or manipulation of *holy* water something that can be taken casually?

Funny. People will do anything to make a profit.

Check out the Wikipedia entry on Holy Water:

Apparently, it can be diluted up to 50%, after which it is no longer holy.

Well,

I think its a good precaution. Consider that fact that many people are paranoid about the Swine Flu.

Personally, I’m not sure if I would use it…but people are different
