You're giving a really good impression of somebody who isn't really paying attention. You wrote in an earlier post to me: Sort of a hilarious accusation when you consider “Say twenty Hail Marys”, or mumbo-jumbling while fondling plastic beads.

And my response was to quote the prayer after the Rosary.

I didn't claim that the prayer proved it was divinely inspired.

I was pointing out that the Rosary booklets themselves don't tell you to mumbo-jumble while fondling plastic beads, but to meditate on specific things in the lives of Christ and the Apostles. (The last decade on Fridays one recalls Jesus being nailed to the cross, each of the phrases He said on the Cross, His being pierced with a spear, and His body being handed over to His Mother.)

And, indirectly, by the words of the prayer, to point out that it isn't worship of Mary.

It's not a desperate ex-post-facto backpedaling expedient, either, the prayer's right there in every Missal I've ever seen.

“the prayer’s right there in every Missal I’ve ever seen.”

Show me in the Bible, not a man-made “Missal”.

The Mormons believe stuff in a different man-made book.

...the prayer's right there in every Missal I've ever seen.

No doubt.

You’ve stumped me, Grey-whiskers! When was Jesus’ body handed over to His mother?
