WRONG.
The Rosary is not the weapon for these times. It is a pagan prayer to Mary.
In Ephesians 6 Paul outlined our spiritual warfare needs and the Rosary wasn't a part of that.
Sorry, I don't follow the false, pagan beliefs of the pope or this "church." I follow what THE Book says, not some guy who says atheists, pagans, homosexuals, all will go to heaven without repentance of their sins against a Holy God, who WILL NOT allow them into His heaven if they have not repented.
Bro, you're post is so wrong on so many levels.
I can see your seminary training did not equip you to handle the Scriptures. You may can recite the Mass in Latin, but you cannot handle the Scriptures.
Read John 6:66 in context.
*****
60Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?”
61But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
62“What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?
63“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
64“But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.
65And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
66As a result of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore.
67So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”
68Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.
69“We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God.”
John 6:66-69 NASB
This is an Internet hoax that has been thoroughly debunked by astronomers.
WHAT!??
They lost the literal body of Jesus?

Hi gang! What’s going on in here?
check please.
You should probably put it a little farther out, so you don't have to explain why you're still here for the 2014 elections. Unless you have other plans.
> >I believe that the grand finale of this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) will occur in October 2024, when Nibiru, the planet that NASA discovered for the first time in 1983, will pass too close to our planet Earth.
Back to the drawing board for you!

And what I mean by joy and satisfaction here is clear in the Gospel and the promises of God as revealed in His Word. His Word itself is deeply and uniquely and supremely enjoyable and satisfying and inspiring to believers, while hardened unbelievers can hear the Gospel their whole lives and read the Bible, even be “biblical scholars” for decades, but still completely miss the joy and satisfaction because of the stubborn unbelief in their hearts that causes them to always reject Christ.
So think of all the enjoyable and satisfying knowledge of God and all things that He’s given us through His Word, which also instructs us on becoming more intimate with Him, and brings us awe and such spiritual wonder. Think of all that you’ve come to treasure in God’s Word, from what we learn as lessons to individual stories of faith and individual verses and passages that are wondrously inspiring. While unbelievers don’t see it, only a divine being could produce the Bible.
Imagine, then, if we were without knowledge of the Gospel and didn’t have the Bible, as some peoples are still today. We’re blessed beyond measure by what God has given to us and continues to give us through them, and He gives us incomparable enjoyment and satisfaction through them, providing the food for our spiritual hunger.
I posted the following question in another thread the other day to any and every Catholic who would want to answer it:
What God-given satisfaction and enjoyment do you believe you get out of your beliefs on the Lord’s Supper? Include whatever you believe faithful Protestants don’t get.
I know I get great joy and satisfaction out of participating in the Lord’s Supper and part of that comes from recognizing that it’s all the most amazing work of the Lord. Like man is God’s crown on Creation, the sacrifice of God’s Son on the Cross after He became one of us and was put to death by us, yet He loves us regardless, is God’s crowning work.
So the Lord’s Supper, in which we remember this work of supreme divine love for us who are so unworthy is very meaningful to me, and I believe it to be a symbol but also more than that, in that it’s spiritual and in some way we’re partaking of God’s divine nature as spirit.
But the Catholic beliefs on the Lord’s Supper (what Paul called it) don’t have that appeal to me. I judge them to be religious, and the beliefs themselves and the experience not to carry the same joy and satisfaction of how the Lord’s Supper is celebrated in faithful Protestant churches.

Better watch it, Father. You're sounding like one of us "rednecks."
