The rosary is a man made prayer, originally it was 150 our father prayers in place of the 150 psalms.

There are many many other "rosaries". There are several scriptural rosaries, which have bible verses before each prayer. There is the Pro Life Rosary, which meditates on various levels of Christ's life and we meditate on how this is connected with threats against life today. The Divine Mercy chaplet is said on rosary beads. The Franciscan rosary has seven decades. The Angel rosary had seven groups of three. The Seven sorrows chaplet has seven groups of seven. I often pray the rosary of peace, where you pray for peace at various levels: self, family, town, country, world.

The rosary is not a dogma, nor even an important part of Catholicism. It is a "pious practice".

You don't like it? Fine.

Since you can read and write, try saying the Divine Office instead. You can buy it on Ebay for less than $100, and the shortened version for about $10.

And stop complaining about trivia. Prayer is lifting your heart and mind to God. Without this part of prayer, the rosary is just repeating useless words.

The Mass is trivia? The Rosary is only the latest devotion to be sabotaged by this papacy. The whole of Catholic culture and devotional life, as well as the dogmas and theologies of the ancient faith are under attack. This is merely another small step in the overall dismantling of the Catholic Church.
