I agree. Yutes these days are more likely to think they are. They should be carried in a pocket and used in prayer.

Could be a crucifix, not a rosary.

Reporters can’t get a single gun detail correct, it’s possible they don’t know how to to handle articles of Christianity either.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is impossible to know from the article the religious beliefs of this youth. His religion may be very syncretic ( a combination of pagan Mexican, South or Central American Indian beliefs and Catholicism.)

My husband and I speak Spanish and were asked by our church leaders to join the Spanish speaking congregation in our county. You would be **amazed** at what people believe.

“A rosary is not jewelry.”

No it is not. However I have noticed that a lot of people from Latin America wear their rosaries around their neck. I really don’t think they mean disrespect they just want it close to their persons.

It isn't, but is that why the principal acted as he did?

I don't think so.

That’s what I was thinking about.I see quite a few people wearing them. Is it some kind of fashion statement?
