is it sacrelegist to put anrosary beads on the rear view mirrow of your car. i am not catholic?

Answer 1

It depends. The Rosary is not a decoration.

The Rosary is a tool that can be used by anyone in prayer.

If you choose to display a Rosary then remember to behave (and drive) accordingly. Just like wearing a Cross or Crucifix, you are telling the world that you believe in and are trying to live the Gospel message.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Rosary beads which carry blessings are objects of holy devotion and should be treated with respect, there is no official catholic church statement on use of rosaries hanging from a review mirror, though, so you'll get alot of mixed sentiments.

I personally, refrain from anything which might be regarded as trivialization of the rosary, blessed or not, because that's the way I was raised. More important is the fact that you should never under any circumstances WEAR rosary beads. If you're respectful and properly display the beads in a non-insulting way, there really isn't a great reason to say you CAN'T put rosary beads in your window (though I would use a plain set that had not been blessed)

Answer 3

I actually had a friend in high school who always carried around a rosary and he was not catholic. He was very into religious studies and I never heard him say anything about it being sacrelegist. However, I would ask someone who is catholic to make sure.

Answer 4

I'm catholic - Why not have rosary beads?

I can't think of a eason why you can't. people might say if that was sacreligious putting teh beads in your pcket is too close to your genitals - so lets not get stupid, Jesus doesn't mind - just don't do things to take the piss out of him deliberately

Answer 5

If the beads have been blessed then they ought to be treated with more reverence than being turned into an ornament.
