Where is Sola Scriptura in the Bible?
This is shear hypocrisy, demanding that Catholics adhere to principles that Luther invented, while exempting their own teachings from Luther's traditions.
“If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector.” —Jesus
Rationalize that passage as you see fit, because, let's face it, at bottom, no individual Protestant regards any authority as greater than his personal interpretation of Scripture.
Very well said. I’ll continue to say the Rosary even if others don’t.
What do you use to test for truth? What is your measuring rod?

This is about church discipline not doctrine..

This is rather funny seeing Rome has only produced infallible interpretation for a handful of scriptures.. 99.9%of what Catholics read or teach is nothing more than the personal interpretation of the writer or speaker..
Alright, I know you're going in this direction because the very focus of the article is that the rosary isn't "Biblical"...but the key thing in exchanging claims here is not to pull the "technical" switch by steering clear of all words NOT officially listed in the Bible...
...Like Trinity, Bible, etc.
Elsewise, we'd have to toss most of the words we have for Eucharist/Communion & the RC church would have to unload over HALF of these terms:

The Q REALLY is: Is this concept embraced within the Bible.
For Sola Scriptura
John 20:31:
31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. (2 Pet. 1:20)
