When in Doubt, Rep. Bob Brady Drinks the Holy Water

by Kim D.

Ignoring the 7th Commandment and sneaking the glass of water Pope Francis sipped from while addressing Congress and having a taste of holy water couldn't hurt, right? At least that's what Democrat Rep. Bob Brady is claiming after he swiped the glass and shared the Pontiff''s leftovers with family and staff.

According to The Hill, this is not the first time Brady has swiped the glass of someone he deemed holy.  "This is not the first heist that the congressman has pulled off. Brady also took the glass from President Obama’s first inaugural address."

Brady also spread the holy-water joy to other legislators. He called U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., into his office, and Casey brought along his wife and mother. The three dipped their fingers into the glass. Pictures were taken, joy was in the air. Brady said he then poured the rest of the water into a bottle and will use it to bless his four grandchildren, who range in age from 7 to 18, and his 1-year-old great-granddaughter.
