What’s sad about that is I recently had a family member pass away who was into wearing the brown scapular, etc.. I looked into it and apparently it is used to conjure Mary to intercede or get one out of hell faster but you have to leave it on until the Saturday after your passing or something like that.

The funeral home removed it the same day they received the body.

Guess it didn’t work...

Do you know what a strawman argument is? You should, because you just made one. Mary doesn't get anyone out of hell, because nobody gets anyone out of hell once they're there.

If you'd like to discuss actual Catholic beliefs, in a sane, charitable manner, instead of misrepresenting them to make them look foolish (where in the Bible does Jesus teach you to do that, again?), we'll be here.

Guess you don't know the facts here:

Being Catholic: Sacred Things, Scapulars [Ecumenical]

In other words, there is more to this than meets the eye. You cannot be the judge. Only God can judge.
