You might want to put down your Catholic-fighting boxing gloves on this one. Cuz...you might not have noticed that this was Ukrainian Orthodox?

Use of Holy Water has been a God-honoring and God-honored practice of the entire Church, East and West, for over 20 centuries.

God-honoring because it is accompanied by ceaseless prayer and acts of faith in God's healing and purifying power.

God-honored because of its many, many miraculous manifestations which are still happening and have never ceased.

If you only knew!

The anti-Catholic bigots at FR don’t care.

Yes...I did see that. And Roman Catholicism uses "holy water" as well.

Use of Holy Water has been a God-honoring and God-honored practice of the entire Church, East and West, for over 20 centuries.

Maybe in Mrs Don-o's version of history....however...and again from Roman Catholicism's own Catholic Encyclopedia:

In the West [aka Rome] Dom Martène declares that

nothing was found prior to the ninth century

concerning the blessing and aspersion of water that takes place every Sunday at Mass.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07432a.htm

The CE disagrees with you.

If only Roman Catholics would apply sound Scriptural principles in these matters.

To properly fight spiritual warfare Paul lays out how we are to do this in Ephesians 6.

SCRIPTURE DOES NOT CHANGE.....Roman Catholic "tradition" has, does and will change.

Please don’t feed the trolls. It only encourages them.
