Holy Water Isn't Holy Water?!

[quote name='Aloysius' post='1632905' date='Aug 20 2008, 03:36 PM']I never said He lessened the blessings. If the water is not exorcised, then it is not exorcised water... pure and simple. It is blessed water, and it is holy water because it is still liturgical and a sacramental, but it does not carry an exorcism unless a priest exorcises it. Like I said, I know the old ritual contained an exorcism and I do not know if the new ritual does or not, I would like to see clarification on that. If it does not, then it makes sense why Fr. Amorth makes a distinction between "holy water" and "exorcised water" nowadays, whereas with the older rituals all holy water would have also been exorcised water.[/quote]
Something just occured to me...
Maybe this distinction between exorcised water and holy water is only a distinction that is identical to the difference between an exorcism and a blessing?
Obviously not on the same level, but that doesn't lessen a blessing in any way.
Make sense?
