Is the Bible a sacramental because it is a Bible, or must it be blessed by a priest to become the Holy Bible?
*Also, is there a distinction between the holiness of the Bible as an object, and the holiness of the words in it when spoken? This essentially is a question about the written word vs the spoken word.*
Keep in mind the sin of simony in your answer, as I think this can get nuanced. Citing of sources is welcome. Considering that is is called the word of God, if possible and this is not an obligation, it would be nice to know if its holiness is equal to that of the Eucharist, inferior, superior, etc.
