pop culture and the rosary...

I think expressing the rosary is awesome. even on people like britney spears or madonna, mabye someone in love with britney falls in love with being a catholic. God uses all his creations to spread the word. as a matter of fact Im trying to design a tatoo of a rosary so when i'm legal age I can get it

Why would you get a rosary tatooed around your neck? Wouldn't that make praying it an act of contortion rather than contrition?

Well, Mark Wahlberg did go to church regularly, but not sure if he does anymore, and I read in an interview/article once that he goes to confession everytime he slept with a girlfriend and felt sorry about it, he had a child out of marriage recently though.
His return to the Church did apparently help him to get off his drug addiction though.

[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?

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.
