I'm sure you would agree that the Rosary is no longer just a poor man's prayer.

Not every Catholic has historically been below the poverty line. Again, you can't fool God. The Marian Psalter is called that for a reason. If one wishes to rebel against that, don't take God's Name in vain to do so. Understand the rebellion, and take responsibility. Don't think to say that - simply don't like any change - is somehow persuasive. Clinton talked about change. And he meant a change for the worse. And in the context of RVM, change can be holy - or unholy.

But here's the thing. You don't need to stop praying the old Rosary to start praying the new luminous mysteries. I'm not trying to be flip. As Catholics, we don't believe God stopped revealing Himself to us once the Bible was codified. I just can't see that it matters if we're over the number of psalms. And I also cannot see how meditating on the earthly ministry of Jesus can be a bad thing.
