Whereas the Luminous Mysteries correspond to the Gospels. Where's the problem with meditating on the words of Jesus Christ?
Not gonna get in an argument about it. Christians spend too much time arguing. I was just explaining one reason why some Catholics don’t include the Luminous mysteries.
There’s nothing wrong with the five new mysteries. They are certainly biblical. But there is a long tradition of three groups of five, and they accord with the basic pattern of Jesus’ life: birth, death, and resurrection.
I was an admirer of JP II and his Encyclicals. Still, it seemed to me an odd thing to do. Not wrong, but odd. And I don’t think it has done anything to increase the saying of the Rosary, which probably was his purpose.
No problem, I suppose. You and and the modernist popes can make up new decades every day if you want.
When, in an approved apparition, Mary acknowledges the Luminous Mysteries I will rush to incorporate them.
