LOL. What a goofy article [written by (yet another) embittered and empty fallen-away Catholic], and the fundraising sits at 50%. Does anyone wonder why it takes [too much] time for an otherwise great site to collect its funds to operate efficiently?

Below is another article written by yet another embittered and empty fallen away catholic......

I sure hope you not an attorney or teacher of young minds with your logic skills.

The best known and most highly esteemed scapular, and the one most favored by the Church, and by the Blessed Virgin in many of her apparitions, is the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. It is adapted from the scapular of the Carmelite Order and represents a special Consecration to Our Lady under the title of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Those who wear it practice it a special devotion to Mary. In the past this was the Little Office of Our Lady, but today this can be commuted by any priest to the rosary. In addition, the person has a special entrustment of themselves to Mary for their salvation. This, in fact, has been promised to those who faithfully wear the scapular: "Those who die wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." This must not be understood superstitiously or magically, but in light of Catholic teaching that perseverance in faith, hope and love are required for salvation. The scapular is a powerful reminder of this Christian obligation and of Mary's promise to help those consecrated to her obtain the grace of final perseverance. https://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/brown_scapular.htm
