    Another pope had coffee baptised so it wouldn’t be sinful to drink. (or at least I’ve heard that story I never bothered checking out its authenticity.)

    Which means we can assume they’re mostly doing uppers in the Vatican

      Fun fact, holy water does not dilute, so by this point about every accessible water on Earth is holy water, and every liquid that contains it too.

        Sadly they got around that issue. It’s only holy water as long as it remains fully water, and it’s only holy if its not in a natural vessel. So you can’t pour holy water in the ocean and kill off the entire vampire population. Which means most of the water has been unholied. However. What about ice cubes? Can I holy up my drink a little? (Also can I shoot holy ice cubes at demons?)

          what we need is a church-military complex of priests and engineers. if every body of water is either a canal or a dam then it is no longer within a natural vessel. and with enough priests we can continuously bless them all. vampirism shall then be banished unto the bottom of the seas
