The Benedictine medal is a devotional medal honoring Saint Benedict and the Holy Scapular. to wear a satanic pentacle with it would be very evil and would do you great harm spiritually.

Roman Catholic AnswerA pentacle and a pentagram are different words for a five pointed star. The pentagram usually refers to an inverted pentacle, often with a goat's head in the center of it. Unfortunately, although the pentagram is specifically a Satanic symbol, the pentacle is pagan and all pagan rites, even those not specifically Satanic, are based on spirits that are opposed to Christian worship, in other words, demons. Although the most successful demonic influences have divorced themselves from "demonic" and "Satan" at least in their face to the world. Avoid all of it, it is not of God.

Pentacle before 1600 was used among Roman Catholics as a symbol of protection, that they believed to represent the five wounds of Christ. Still in some Roman Catholic churches built before 1600, you may find a pentacle engraved or as a window decoration. As an example, In Sri Lanka, you can still find a pentacle on the front top window of the St Mary's church dehiwala. After 1600 's the Vatican rejected the use of pentacle in any connection of the Roman catholic church. Since then the followers believed it is associated with the demons.

Pentacle now, is the official religious symbol of Wicca. Wiccans use the upright pentacle (inside a circle) as a symbol of protection. On the alter, Pentacle represents the element of Earth.

In the Wiccan point of view, wearing a medal that represents Gnosticism along with a pentacle does no harm.
