Offended? Me? After reading the blatherings of Proddy orcs all day? I am mildly curious why you would think I’m a ferner. Please don’t say it is the way I write. Please.
I asked which church makes it a “necessary practice”.
Because of #619....you seem so holy.....thank God.
The point, Suzy, is the difference between that which is practiced and that which is advanced as a necessary practice.
Let me point you to the Book of Worship of the UMC.

Those are pretty powerful words to be using for any practice when you’re trying to give the impression that praying the rosary is NOT NECESSARY:
“Our Lady” says that the soul that prays the rosary shall not perish.
NOOOOOOO....just tell us what prayers you say every day....YOU, Mr. Chaplain....what prayers every day and what prayers on Sunday service......tell us...don’t link....thanks.
The soul that chants the Cardery shall not lose at Poker.
Thanks -
If I may ask:
What is the general consensus why this discipline wasn’t really utilized for nearly 1000 years and the church fathers don’t really talk about Mary in the sense of the latter church does? I’ve often wondered that and I’m not looking or a link or a million word answer, just a few thoughts from you is good...just curious...as always, respectfully asked.
Blessings.

You are da bomb, Doc!
I understand. Thank you for your time and perspective. Much appreciated.
Interesting choice of words.

If you are ever looking for historical information concerning Judaism, there's also a Jewish Encyclopedia
I am neither.
How do you react to the statement: “Our Lady’s revealed that the soul that prays the rosary shall not perish.”

Hey, I’m not the one that brought the rosary to the thread. The rosary is “vain repetition”, and by the admission of many on this thread (perhaps even you), they do not even consider the words they utter, but instead “meditate on mysteries”. Would that they pick up a Bible and meditate on the Word of God.
