I have seen no reason to believe that Rome stands in contradiction to biblical fidelity. In fact the Catholic Church compiled what we call the New Testament.
Part of the Rosary is “Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.”
There is an element of the Rosary that is frequently ignored re Matthew 6:7. The short Rosary is composed of 5 decades, and 4 short Rosaries comprise a long Rosary. Each decade of the Rosary corresponds to mystery of Christ.
Joyful Mysteries:
1) Annunciation to Mary
2) Visitation to Elizabeth
3) Birth of Jesus
4) Presentation in the Temple
5) Finding in the Temple
Sorrowful Mysteries:
1) Our Lord agonizing in the Garden
2) Our Lord beaten at the post
3) Our Lord humiliated
4) Our Lord carrying the cross
5) Our Lord Crucified
Luminous Mysteries:
1) Baptism
2) Wedding at Cana
3) Proclamation of the Kingdom of God
4) Transfiguration of Our Lord
5) The Last Supper
Glorious Mysteries:
1) The Resurrection
2) The Ascension
3) The Descent of the Holy Spirit
4) The Assumption of Mary
5) The Coronation of Mary
During the decade corresponding to a particular Mystery, one is supposed to meditate on the Mystery. What one meditates on is largely personal choice; for example I sometimes meditate on what appear to be contradictions between two Bible verses relating to that Mystery.
Claiming the Rosary is repetitive is true. Claiming it is empty is not.
Of these 20 Mysteries, 19 are found in the Bible; Glorious 4 is not explicitly in the Bible. 17 are explicitly about our Salvation or an aspect of God; Luminous 2, Glorious 4 and 5 do not appear (on their face) to be about our Salvation.
The Queen of Heaven in Jeremiah is by nature opposed to God. Honoring her is by default turning away from God. However, Mary is not opposed to God, in fact she turned to God.
The woman in Rev 11 has a crown. Crowns are associated with Royalty. Since this person is a woman, she is either a Queen or a Princess.
Believe as you will. It is your life.
And Rome did not put together the New Testament!
I was born, raised, educated and a practicing Roman Catholic until 18. I also attended an evangelical church for years before leaving the Roman Catholic church. If you would like details on why I am now evangelical Christian and you enjoy polite discussions let me know.
I will note there is a lot of dung flinging going on here in the Religion forum. The various sides of arguments are all guilty IMO. Perhaps it is because I am new here posting and that makes it obvious. Perhaps posters here like it and I will get a finger lashing for being new and potentially naive. I can take it since Sister Agnes and Fr. Dolan loved to whack knuckles when I was misbehaving:)
