Who made the promise?

The apparition.

The cloth, all by itself?

Vendors are selling these for around $11 depending on the website.

...the words on the cloth were sewn or embroidered on, as a memento of the promise.

Nope. The words on the idol were the words of the apparition.

That promise was not to everyone, but to the carmelite.

dude....really?

In the year 1251, in the town of Aylesford in England, Our Lady appeared to St. Simon Stock, a Carmelite. She handed him a brown woolen scapular and said, “This shall be a privilege for you and all Carmelites, that anyone dying in this habit shall not suffer eternal fire.” In time, the Church extended this magnificent privilege to all the laity who are willing to be invested in the Brown Scapular of the Carmelites and who perpetually wear it.

As you're attempting to defend this idolatry, do you wear one of these?

Perhaps a miraculous medal as well?

Never heard of it before this thread.

And the only information I had on it was from the posts of the trolls.
