And to confirm that....he wears, by his own admission (after a denial) a useless piece of cloth because some apparition told him to.
In doing so, he, and anyone else "trusting in this idol" has left the Gospel for a false Gospel.
But for it to "work" he has to do the following:
1.Wear the Brown Scapular continuously.
2.Observe chastity according to ones state in life (married/single).
3.Recite daily the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin OR Observe the fasts of the Church together with abstaining from meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays OR With permission of a priest, say five decades of Our Ladys Most Holy Rosary OR With permission of a priest, substitute some other good work.

So in other words, Catholicism says “do this.” While Christ says, “It is finished.”
But but but Catholics swear they are not in a works based religion. Well it sure isn’t Christianity they serve.
