I don't have a "brown scapular", Brother Elsie, and, frankly, I don't know any Catholics who do.   (That idea came out of a "private revelation" in the distant past, and Catholics are not at all obligated to believe in private revelations -- see this article "Are Catholics obliged to believe in Marian apparitions?" - Karl Keating -- to finally become fully enlightened concerning the truth about that.)

I went to catholic grade school and high school. In grade school, we wore the scapula. I hated it, cuz it was wool, and very uncomfortable against the skin, but the priests told us it would keep us out of Hell. By the time we got to high school, none of us wore it anymore, though I don’t remember why. Maybe we didn’t care if it kept us out of Hell. I just don’t remember.
Now, I have no need of such things, but I am comfortable with that. 😁😇🤣😤😂🤗😆👍🇵🇭

... Catholics are not at all obligated to believe in private revelations...

FATIMA was PRIVATE???

Why DO so many Catholics glomm onto such apparitional sightings??

And BELIEVE them wholehearthedly?

Could it be that the church ALLOWS them to do so?
