I use the same method, wire, pliers and then 3 tiny lengths of chain to separate the decades. The web site has a section for mission supplies. Low cost as long as you are giving them away. They also have a nice selection of upscale supplies.
Some people don’t understand the definition of “grace”.
“Some people don’t understand the definition of “grace”.”
They don’t. You’re right.
“grace, in Christian theology, the spontaneous, unmerited gift of the divine favour in the salvation of sinners, and the divine influence operating in individuals for their regeneration and sanctification.”
I think of it as favor, protection and power. Holiness too.
“One of the 15 promises IS getting Grace for spreading the rosary devotion”
Right. The statement is an oxymoron. You don’t “get” Grace by spreading. You don’t get Grace by doing anything. Everything already has been done.

The rosary is a Catholic prayer. The tenets of Catholicism apply
“The rosary is a Catholic prayer. The tenets of Catholicism apply”
Oh. I was going for the tenets of Christianity.
This is Monsignor Popes response to the article in the Atlantic. This thread is a good place to read his comments about the article. I didn’t go looking for this, we just read his blog. https://blog.adw.org/author/cpope/
“Oh. I was going for the tenets of Christianity.”
This is for readers, not necessarily for you. I find debating the regular Free Republic hateful, ignorant anticatholic Free Republic commenters to be impossibly closed minded and illogical as to defy debate.
However, this is an article about the rosary. And I do expect the FR hate Catholic to be represented here. The hatred toward the Blessed Mother is particularly strong here.
No need to respond with illogical, uninformed Catholic hatred
I wont engage any further wasting my time.
Any article on the rosary is expected to draw it out.
Jesus founded the Catholic Church.
“Presbyterianism originated in the 16th-century Protestant Reformation and the teachings of John Calvin of Switzerlan d and John Knox of Scotland.”
Encycl. Of Cleveland history
Here’s encyclopedia Britannica
“As a branch of Christianity, Roman Catholicism can be traced to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in Roman-occupied Jewish Palestine about 30 CE.“
“ The Reformation (alternatively named the Protestant Reformation or the European Reformation)[1] was a major movement within Western Christianity in 16th-century Europe that posed a religious and political challenge to the Catholic Church”

Also from Britannica:
Lutheranism as a religious movement originated in the early 16th century Holy Roman Empire as an attempt to reform the Roman Catholic Church...

Thanks so much. Saved for later.
Hilarious.
‘Bye.
As actually protesting against what it sees as an abuse of it, as in,
These rad-trad rosary-as-weapon memes represent a social-media diffusion of such messaging, and they work to integrate ultraconservative Catholicism with other aspects of online far-right culture. The phenomenon might be tempting to dismiss as mere trolling or merchandising, and ironical provocations based on traditionalist Catholic symbols do exist, but the far right’s constellations of violent, racist, and homophobic online milieus are well documented for providing a pathway to radicalization and real-world terrorist attacks. The rosary—in these hands—is anything but holy.
This reaction is what I see as extreme, even though I am one who affirms that praying to Mary or any created being in Heaven is nowhere taught or exampled by by believers despite over 200 prayers recorded by the Holy Spirit in Scripture, but is one of the distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels).
First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
There are plenty (!) of threads on FR that deal with specifics of various religions. I hope this thread doesn’t get into a debate about HOW and WHY people practice their religion.
THIS is about freedom. I will defend all Constitutional rights.
The Bible told us this was coming.........................
It is a distinctive Catholic teaching that there is a communion of saints. That we pray to the saints for intercession that is what we do when praying to The Blessed Mother
free republic anticatholics are distinct in their ing Moran e of Catholic teaching that they profess
So stop wasting my time.
The only reason that the Left doesn't pick on them to the same extent is that it doesn't see them as a religion, but as some sort of decriminalized sin whose protection justifies totalitarian secularism.
These "anti-chrstians" who don't recognize any other religion than chrstianity and who patronize non-chrstian religions as honorary homosexuals are actually the most fanatical chrstians of all.
Lol!
But remember, in the world of pro wrestling the heels never feud among themselves.
Most religions and its zealots are.

I recommend an electron microscope. You get more new data that way.
Also, it comes with a frammis.
