pop culture and the rosary...

[quote name='jiyoung' date='Jan 15 2005, 05:07 PM'] i keep seeing pictures of different celebrities wearing rosaries around their necks like jewelry--usher, britney spears, lindsay lohan, etc. it kinda bugs me because i don't think they're even Catholic (britney spears for example--raised baptist, now dabbling in kabbalah..?). what do you guys think about this?

i can only hope that Our Lady, knowing a good opportunity when she sees one, will use this as an invitation into their hearts... [/quote]
where did you see this? any links online?

it was all in magazines...YM with usher on the cover, us weekly or something with a random paparazzi shot of britney spears, and seventeen or cosmogirl with lindsey lohan.

i always thought we werent supposed to wear rosaries at all, even if it was out of respect.. is that changed now?

I guess it counts on intention. Some wear it to have it on them but usually people don't see it that way. I used to wear it but then i asked a priest and he said to keep one in my pocket instead.
