This prohibition was probably an overreaction on the part of ignorant school officials. I shudder to think how many of those I had to deal with when I was a public high school teacher.
It wouldn't surprise me but that this was a pretty beaded necklace with a cross suspended from it which some doofus took to be a rosary.
But then, I knew of schools that prohibited students' wearing professional sports team logo clothing at one time because some has been used as gang uniforms. This is probably similar.
If the girl actually was wearing a rosary as a necklace, then I agree with Costrel and MC that she hadn't a very thorough religious education. A rosary is not to be used as jewelry. Someone should advise this girl that wearing a rosary as a necklace is sooooo not done. Problem solved quite simply.
when my kids where in HS, Notre Dame gear was gang wear

My choice for second best college football fight song, long before I moved to Georgia and and all three of our children (two daughters) graduated from GT : www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7h51M3CfIQJ My daughters also sang "to hell with Georgia". here's to college foot ball fight songs. WG opened the discussion with her distaste for ND's " football Jesus"--a tv network promotion. J.

It's Holy Cross Fathers--and not what you said.
Unbelievable that you try to tell others to shut up when you yourself are obviously lacking in correct info about the subject.
BTW--do you honestly think you "know" something--anything--about a great universiy by watching its ATHLETES for a few hours on tv?
Unbelievable.
If you do watch though you will have observed a family member involved with the games.....
May have gotten the nomenclature wrong but I do read Father Richard McBrien of ND regularly. And the Holy Cross Brothers did teach the boys at my high school which catered to elite academic students. You brought up "Touch-Down Jesus" with some acrimony. For fun : www.youtube.com/watch?v=7csGhMQoQms Know why the team is called the Fighting Irish? Because Chicago Irish/American money built that university. Doubt you are a memberr of of the American/Irish clan that built the Church in the US, for better and sometimes for worse. Irish/Americans were the admin that built the Church, and not all were poor immigrants--Irish/Americans know how to make $$$ and suceed. You are not a member of the clan. We recognize each other.

Okay Dot--thanks for that info.
I can't imagine that it is anywhere close to being as impressive and beautiful as the ND Touchdown Jesus seven-story mosaic though....
It wasn't. Actually looked a lot like a dashboard Jesus magnified and stuck in the ground from about mid-chest downward.
Unimaginative, to say the least.
Why not leave Notre Dame out of your lexicon? I've followed ND football for decades, my dad on the radio before me. NBC network tv loves this icon :it sells. But ND is one of the premier Catholic Universities in the US, run by the Father's of the Holy Cross. I am a devotee of Father Richard Mc Brien's column on National Catholic Reporter ; he is chair of the theology dept. at ND. Actually the Bothrs of the Holy Cross taught the boys at my high school while the Religious Sisters of Mercy taught the girls : the best of two worlds. But NBC also presents the ND Irish gathering for their Alma Mater after every game : lovely ND tradition, always followed by the ND fight song. Last Saturday NBC also presented both teams gathering for the Air Force Academy's alma mater. There is a reason ND often plays teams from the Service Academies--tradition. Not up your alley in many way, shape or form. ND has the best fight song ever. Music-wise GA TECH has the next best.

Not anymore it doesn't, but I bet it glowed plenty when the lightning strike set the thing afire. :-D

And I'll bet it doesn't glow in the dark either. I had a glow in the dark rosary at one time. It was great especially for travelling. You couldn't lose it even if you wantef to....

"Ohio"?
Nope.
"Touchdown Jesus" is a mosaic on the libfrary at Notre Dame University in Notre Dame Indiana.
You can see it during the televised ND games each Saturday....
I can believe that since Notre Dame is God's Own University. < grin > However, this statue was commonly referred to as Touchdown Jesus due to its upraised arms, intended to suggest the resurrection.
