If you think that's a passionate attack, you haven't spent much time around here.

Maybe so...you may have more experience on that perhaps, than I do. ;)

I think we can all agree on one thing: more prayers, atonement, fasting and sacrifice are needed. We all need to pray, and pray some more for our Nation, for world peace and to end abortion forever.

I've not heard if it's specifically forbidden by the Church, but if wearing a Rosary around the neck will help to remind believers to pray more, maybe that isn't a bad thing. The Cure d'Ars said all he needed to do was get his Rosary around a sinner's neck and that sinner would not escape him.

My opinion is that if unbelievers and scoffers wear the Rosary as jewelry, it desecrates what is holy that is not what it is meant for.

Thank you, for your prayers.

Prayer is always a good thing. And St. John Marie Vianney was a GOOD man (even if he didn't think much of dancing).

Pax! < g >
