Go Ahead, Pile on Those Scapulars

Question:

There are many types of scapulars out there. I would like to know if it’s okay to own and wear different types of scapulars?

Answer:

Scapulars are meant to be an external sign of a particular devotion. As long as the person is carrying out the specific devotion of the scapular then it is fine to wear, even if it is more than one.
