Oh, dear, I confused the promises of the Carmelite scapular with something else, so the privileges of the brown scapular *are* given by the Church, on certain conditions (wearing of the scapular, maintaining chastity according to one’s state, and either praying a certain set of prayers or with permission, substituting another act).
There are ALWAYS these to contend with; are there not!?
Really??
No kidding??!!??
