If you didnt know, and no one told you, how could you "sin horribly"?

*dies from relief* I just recently became better at being Catholic. I found of that free for Catholic site a Green Scapular but this thread says something about a Brown Scapular. I'm guessing it doesn't matter as long as it's a Scapular? if I got the one I found at free for Catholics, I'd need to have it blessed right?

Maddalena:

There are many different colors of scapulars and all are for some kind of religious dedication. The indulgences associated with each scapular is different and so are the colors and prayers you do with them. The green scapular is devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The green scapular is not the same as the brown scapular.

There is also something called a fivefold scapular that combines 5 different scapulars into one. I may get this someday, but I'm going to look into it more.

I definitely recommend getting a brown scapular. You may even find one for free at your parish. Oh, and make sure you're properly enrolled. If the priest doesn't place the scapular over you, you can be pretty sure he's not really enrolling you.
