The church we attend is pretty new truly beautiful. The only issue is that the location of Holy Water is in one big pool located next to the exit/entrance doors. Upon entering the church, access to the pool isn't hard at all because people are trickling into the service. The exiting is where the mass chaos begins.
Since there is only one location of the Holy Water, everyone moves towards the pool at once. Even without children, I found it difficult to make my way to the pool because rude people who had already dipped their finger are now trying to get out and don't even look at you as you patiently stand there waiting for an opening to the pool.
I wish that the designer(s) of the church had done what they used to do at all the old days and had Holy Water located in separate receptacles so that folks could hit it as they walk out the door. By having only one location, it's like a concert with people stampeding towards the pool.
The irony is that everyone in the church has just heard the service and should be feeling uplifted and kind towards one's fellow man, but suddenly changes or reverts back to what would appear to be selfish behavior once it's over.
I won't even go into what happens in the parking lot...
