The vast majority of Catholics also don't practice the faith. But getting back to saying the rosary during Mass--why shouldn't people be free to pray as they wish? Why do the liturgical fascists insist on a lot of verbal responses that are mindless and the purest rote? Why shouldn't a contemplative silence be preferred as one says one's beads? The Novus Ordo liturgists love regimentation--one size fits all. They relishe busy-ness and noise--it's what they're about. There's a very superficial understanding of the kind of contemplative prayer the rosary inspires.

If someone wants to attend a Novus Ordo Mass and say the Rosary, they are entirely free to do so.
