what if a catholic priest were to just bless the entire ocean would it turn the entire thing into holy water or do priests have an effective blessing range? does that range increase based on your level? can the pope bless the entire ocean?

so technically any priest could, but shouldn’t for pooping reasons.

So if there’s an emergency where you REALLY NEED to bless the entire Earth water cycle, you’d just need to make sure everyone knows about it and has a self-contained recyclable water supply somehow? If humanity ever gets reduced to a few besieged survivors, the vampires aren’t gonna know what hit them.

But what’s the expiration date on holy water? If you’ve just blessed the entire water cycle, you’re gonna run out of water pretty soon even with your own water supply. What do you do then? You can’t collect rainwater. If the rain killed the vampires, it must be holy, so now what?

On second thought, I’m not sure how much of a problem this even is. If it’s a life-or-death emergency (unlike in the original question) then there better be an exception to the improper use thing. That’s canon. But everyone would still have to use confirmed non-holy water for everything short of that. If civilization ever gets rebuilt afterward, it’d definitely need a completely new sewer system.

Wikipedia says that holy water is disposed of directly into the ground to avoid the sewer system, and this feels like it might imply that it stops being holy then. (Anyone who actually knows want to confirm?) So I guess even if you could see to bless ALL THE WATER, it’d be temporary. On the bright side you can collect some rainwater, eventually all of it, depending on where it evaporated from and how many times. Does anyone have the number of an emergency hydrologist?

#this does count as using it as holy water I hope

Well, but there’s also the part about having to see the water, which could get tricky if you’re trying to bless most of the Earth. My first thought was “live satellite video”, but I’m not sure that counts.

If you become a vampire do you automatically become a very sharp dresser or is that a skill that you develop over time. are there novice vampires meandering around in aeropostale shirts and khaki pants

older vampires who’ve just stopped caring and have like 2 pairs of decades old jeans and a hoodie
