Can people just do it the old way?

The Holy Rosary? People do. Go to any Latin Mass, in a traditionalist parish, and that's what the faithful will pray in the public Rosaries, maybe before Mass. Fifteen decades, concentrating on the Mysteries, and even that for each Ave. But the point was that this twenty decade 'rosary' from the Pope's, RVM document, was SUDDENLY imposed on ignorant, uncatechized 'reform catholics', some of whom still sincerely prayed the Rosary, even occasionally publicly together in the 'worthship hall'. But without knowing any better, or now being forced by the group leader!, they pray the new, instead, as if there were something wrong with the old Rosary to which countless miracles are attributed. The 'catholic', so-called, websites jumped on this new thing within WEEKS. One, in particular, simply posted it as if it had always been. No mention of the 15 decade Rosary. It was as if the great battles, the great Saints, had Luminosities on their minds instead of that Marian Psalter given by holy inspiration.

Thanks for the explanation. But (pardon my ignorance) what are Luminosities?

I will quit asking questions after this one!
