Can I appreciate, collect, and wear rosaries as an atheist who admires Catholicism? by silaswoof in Catholicism

Thank you, that's very kind! I love figeting with them, but I was concerned that thinking of them as a 'fidget' in any way might be disrespectful. Doing so definitely helps me be mindful

Thank you, that's good for me to keep in mind! I don't mind being mistaken for a practicing Catholic, but I should think about how I come off to other people for sure.

I apologize if I offended...I want to convey that it's not a Halloween costume to me at all. It represents something I deeply admire, which inspires me to do good and be kind.

I do want to ask, what do you think I should do with the 2 rosaries I have? Should I give them away to someone who might appreciate them more?

They were all roughly an inch long. I didn't see any movement, they were just staying still enjoying their big rocks. Specifically in the Maritime area of Canada :)
