I had gotten the impression he was not in favor of traditional devotions. A traditional group sent Pope Francis a "spiritual bouquet" and his response was:

I share with you two concerns. One is the Pelagian current that there is in the Church at this moment. There are some restorationist groups. I know some, it fell upon me to receive them in Buenos Aires. And one feels as if one goes back 60 years! Before the Council... One feels in 1940... An anecdote, just to illustrate this, it is not to laugh at it, I took it with respect, but it concerns me; when I was elected, I received a letter from one of these groups, and they said: "Your Holiness, we offer you this spiritual treasure: 3,525 rosaries." Why don't they say, 'we pray for you, we ask...', but this thing of counting... And these groups return to practices and to disciplines that I lived through - not you, because you are not old - to disciplines, to things that in that moment took place, but not now, they do not exist today...

So I guess it is good that he at least prays the Rosary, and better if the 15-decade version, but to snub the sincere prayers of Catholics and shame those who offered them up was unkind and in conflict with his purported love of people.

He has harsher words for traditionalists than he has for abortion and gay marriage.

....Or better yet, the full 20 rosary.

Agree.
