I'm pretty sure it's "holy water" in a squirt gun. As if aquatic born pathogens don't exist.

I'm pretty sure this is entirely about covid, and as far as religion goes it's pretty sensible. Priest looks catholic given the robe, stolle (iirc easter season stolles are always worn in baptisms), and general vibe. I assume the Magesterium gave specific instructions on how to perform sacraments during the covid lock downs. This wasn't catholicism's first pandemic and they've already done the whole "make it worse to beg to be spared" thing that a lot of protestants did during covid.

If it was about immunocompromisation the priest would likely be scrubbed down and using freshly blessed freshly sanitized water.

You seem to know your way around baptisms. I’ve heard that in an emergency, a priest can sanctify a mother’s amniotic fluid to baptize a fetus in utero. Couldn’t a priest also sanctify a person’s own blood?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Probably. Priests have a lot of room to improvise in emergencies. I know many keep holy water in their vehicles in case they witness an accident and have to perform an emergency baptism or last rites.

General rules are if it can wait to be done with water it should.

He can literally do whatever he wants??? It's all make-believe.

I mean, religion is kind of a disease.
