I'm quoting him pretty much verbatim. He did use the word "probably."

(29,658 posts)But there are other reasons besides being Christian to wear one. I know an atheist who always wears her St Christopher because it was given to her by an aunt who passed. She wears it when she needs strength and says it always reminds her of her loving and encouraging aunt.
That's probably not the case here but it does happen.

(25,905 posts)"As a Franciscan symbol, the TAU, resembling the Cross, is a sign of conversion. Because of his affection and devotion to the cross of Christ, St. Francis used this sign as his personal signature. For Francis, conversion implies a turning toward God and turning to one's brothers and sisters."

(2,485 posts)this is a common ritual for those being inducted into the 1%. The grapevine cross represents wine, riches, and the good life. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die . . . and all that.
