Finally, after 372 posts, we have a RC attempt to answer the brown scapular-talisman issue.
I commend you for trying, but, really, “because they told me it was not a talisman” is a very poor answer. Please, how about something from the NT that vindicates the wearing of brown scapulars.
“They told me...”, the Supreme Court is going to tell us that same sex marriage is not an abomination, are you going to believe them?
