Is there a rosary for non Catholics?
No, but there is nothing wrong with a non Catholic owning a Catholic rosary provided it is not abused. A rosary, despite some popular misconceptions, is not a piece of jewelry nor an ornament to hang from a rear view mirror.
Should I attend the rosary or the Mass for our neighbor's daughter I am not Catholic?
There is no reason why you should not attend. Non-Catholics can attend Catholic events. Personally, I would recommend that you attend, the Mass would be the Catholic equivalent of the funeral, and the Rosary would be the equivalent of the viewing.
Can anyone give a gift of rosary beads?
Yes, there certainly is no law against it! If you are referring to a non-Catholic giving them as a gift, that is perfectly acceptable.
Is it OK for a non-Catholic to wear a Catholic symbol such as a rosary?
The rosary is meant for prayer, it isn't jewelry. You could wear a cross necklace; and it is okay to wear a cross necklace if it is blessed too. So the answer is NO. Most Catholics would be offended if you wear the Rosary, but not because you are not Catholic, but because the Rosary is NOT meant to be worn. Rosary beads are a sacred tool used for prayer and worship. They may be beautiful, but they are not to be worn as jewelry. It is acceptable to wear a rosary only if you wear it out of devotion to Christ and Mary. It just so happens to appear to be jewelry. I wear my rosary only so i can have Mary close to my heart at all times, there is no doctrine of the Catholic Church forbidding it so as long as it is out of devotion and not for the sake of vanity then it is okay Whether Catholics consider it acceptable for Catholics to wear a rosary depends on the cultural context. It would only be suitable for a non-Catholic to wear a rosary in a culture that permits Catholics to wear one, and then it would only be suitable if the non-Catholic had some sort of appropriate devotion to it. The only time I have ever seen a habit worn normally is by a religious (priest, brother, nun, or sister). In this case, the rosary hangs from their belt on the side so that it is always within reach when you wish to pray. In this day and age, I have seen a few people wearing a rosary around their neck. As noted above, the rosary is NOT jewelry, if you wish to wear a rosary around your neck, I would recommend that you wear it under your clothing as many Catholics would be offended by people wearing a rosary as a necklace.
What is a non liturgical prayer such as the rosary?
Creed
Can non-Catholics wear rosary bracelets?
Many non-Catholics pray the rosary, it is a biblical based prayer, and there is no reason why not, as long as they are wearing the bracelet with devotion and knowledge.
Why is the constant use of the rosary considered idol worship or idol use?
Since when is constant praying considered as idol worship? Someone really has their facts mixed up or have had their minds filled with anti-Catholic rhetoric by some non-Catholic or fundamentalist minister who shows by his hate preaching that he is not a Christian. The rosary is simply a tool used for counting and keeping track of the prayers said. One does not even need a rosary to pray it. Most humans have ten fingers and that is all that is needed.
Can a non-Catholic who married a divorced non-Catholic become Catholic?
Yes. You can become a Catholic even if you were not married in the Catholic church. You must go and see the Father at your local church and inform him of your desire to become Catholic and he will take you through the process. You may be required to complete confession before you can convert.
Can a Catholic mother baptise her children without the consent of a non Catholic father?
If the baptizing priest or deacon determines there is a well founded hope that the child will be raised Catholic, then the answer is yes. Of course, the mother will have to deal with the father who is non consenting, and this may create a family stuggle, so it needs to be worked out in advance.

Is the rosary idolatry?
Speaking as a non-Catholic: As an evangelical Anglican, I actually never use a rosary as an aid for prayer as this device is more in keeping with the Roman Catholic tradition, although I can very much see the use of such a device in prayer. The beads on the rosary represent various prayers and statements of faith, and, by 'saying' the rosary one can be sure that prayers are said without any being 'forgotten'. Idolatry is the worship of anything that is not God - be it a golden calf, a statue, or even your car, holiday home in the Seychelles, or the Lottery. I cannot imagine any Catholic 'worshipping' the rosary as an object in itself; the rosary is simply an aid to prayer which some Christians find useful, and, therefore, using it cannot be classed as idolatry. The only danger with the rosary is that, unless one makes a conscious effort to ensure that prayer comes from the heart, there is a temptation to 'go through the motions' in saying the rosary, so that prayer becomes mechanical and superficial. As long as the rosary is kept well in its place as an aid to personal, devotional and sincere prayer then there is nothing wrong with using it - and it is certainly not idolatrous - and, in fact, used in the right way it can enhance prayer a great deal.
