Question: Is it considered sacrilegous or inapropriate to wear Rosary beads? I am not Catholic but was wondering if Catholics would be offended by such things.
Answer:
Sam: It is not offensive for you to wear Rosary beads, assuming that you are doing so for a religious reason and not to mock the Catholic faith. However, I hope you realize that the Rosary is not really intended to wear as a piece of jewelry but to use as an aid to prayer. You might be interested in learning about the Rosary at
