Bob, let me help here. No Christian faith that I am aware of supports drinking holy water. That is the premise of the post. ABC news... a study... must take action.... investigation.... Do you see where this might be going?

Of all the things going on in the world today, somebody at ABC thought this was newsworthy and important for Americans to be concerned about.

That is what is LOL. And I do think it is ROFLMAO funny.

I don’t think there’s any claim that even a single person has gotten sick doing this, so, yes, it is a “lol” matter.

I've got to defend NYer on the "lol". The article didn't say anybody had gotten sick. Not one. Not anywhere. Not ever. They only said that of the billion people who bless themselves with holy water, somebody "could" theoretically get sick if they drank it.

Since it is not Catholic practice to drink holy water, they are issuing a pseudo-news-report expressing pseudo-concern over a pseudo-problem.

It's like "Public alert! Beware, hearing aid batteries! NOT to be taken internally!"
