Majority vote doesn't define truth.

And yet, the theory that it does is in the article itself.

So I looked at the rosary and asked myself why I was denying something used by millions of fellow Christians. Who was more likely to be right-me or the millions?

The answer is in the wording: “why was I denying”. Always the rejection first before evaluation. To say no is the default position. In that sense its not a question of majorities. It is his own personal search as to why he was saying no to the Rosary. The mention of the multitudes who believe and use the rosary is not an appeal to authority by way of majority but the inner struggle to define the reasoning for his own personal rejection of so many.
