Q: Why do Catholics use crosses at church, on their jewelry…etc.??
A: Because we always want to keep the Cross of Calvary close in our minds and in our hearts. Is it disrespectful or abusive to have those crosses or to make the sign of the cross before a basketball shot or before you’re up to bat? Absolutely not. We depend on the Lord in all things, large and small. Please see the link below for a more detailed explanation.
“Always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who calls you to account for the hope that is in you”
1 Peter 3:15
