Bleach In Holy Water Stains Churchgoer's Shirts
:rofl:

<snip>

It could have been a scene out of "The Omen" at Bayonne's St. Vincent de Paul Church on Sunday, when congregants making the sign of the cross saw their clothes stained where they had placed their fingers to their chests.

But it wasn't the wrath of God - it was bleach in the holy water.

The Rev. Camilo Lopez, the parochial vicar at the Roman Catholic Church on West 28th Street, said that several parishioners who had dipped their fingers in holy water ended up with stained clothes after crossing themselves.

The Rev. James Manos, the church's pastor, said he didn't think it was a deliberate fouling of the holy water, but rather a worker had inadvertently left a mixture of bleach and water in the font after cleaning it.
