KOTA KINABALU: For over a month now, churches no longer provide holy water at the entrance for Catholics to apply to their foreheads to make the sign of the cross.

Parishioners too are no longer allowed to receive the Holy Communion (which Catholics believe is the body and blood of Christ) using methods other than their hands.
