The prayer Jesus said at that time to His Father had a specific purpose and was not some printed chant. The mass verbiage I listed includes chanted responses to the priest. There’s a big difference between the two.
Asking God three times for the same thing, is very different than mumbling the same dead words (the Rosary) over and over for a lifetime.
Furthermore, this was not the norm when Jesus prayed. There are times in our life where we will want to keep asking God for something; but, that is certainly not the same as mumbling the same WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious, words over and over.
When we quote Scripture it's "WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious words over and over".
When you quote Scripture it's okey-dokey.
But that's not bashing, or bigotry, or irrational hatred, or anything like that.
Gotcha.

No, it doesn’t. The responses are not chanted. They are simply spoken.

No one is mumbling any dead words in the rosary or at the Mass.
“but, that is certainly not the same as mumbling the same WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious, words over and over.”
So, if someone prays the Psalms he is “mumbling the same WRITTEN, dead, repetitious, religious, words over and over”?
Clearly the anti-Catholic mindset is not only idiotic, it is anti-biblical.
Are you at all familiar with the Rosary? It is much more than saying repetitive words. It is intended to be a meditative prayer that is used to reflect on our faith.
The Joyful Mysteries: The Annunciation, The Visitation, The Birth of Our Lord, The Presentation of Our Lord, The Finding of Our Lord at the Temple.
The Luminous Mysteries: The Baptism in the Jordan, The Wedding at Cana, The Proclamation of the Kingdom, The Transfiguration, The Institution of the Eucharist.
The Sorrowful Mysteries: The Agony in the Garden, The Scourging at the Pillar, The Crowning with Thorns, The Carrying of the Cross, The Crucifixion and Death of Our Lord.
The Glorious Mysteries: The Resurrection, The Ascension, The Coming of the Holy Ghost, The Assumption, The Coronation of our Blessed Mother.
Reflecting on these mysteries while praying the Rosary has given me a deeper understanding and appreciation for what God has done for us through His Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
