The prayers of the Rosary are the same, the only thing that's changed is that there are 5 additional mysteries put forth for consideration, which one can pray or not. Weekly Mass attendance is an obligation, but the Rosary is an elective prayer. One can say it every day, once a week, one decade, five decades, 20 decades, or not at all.

I honestly and truly do not believe if one prays with love and devotion that Mother Mary will be displeased because one adds the 5 decades that St. JPII “thought of” rather than sticking with the 15 decades she unveiled.

Should we add the Fatima prayer after each decade? At one time *that* was an innovation. Just a thought.

The Fatima prayer was not introduced to us until 1917, and it was revealed by Our Lady Herself.

I really don’t care about what “rosary” or what “prayers” you choose to say.

What do you think about JP II adding a 15th station to the Stations of the Cross?

Did you read the complete article I linked for you? JP II was the first pope to do or say many other things that are questionable.
