I love how you miss the point. It's not about three or four decades of the rosary. It's about change for the sake of change and a slow destruction of Catholic culture and devotions. There have been more changes to Catholicism in the past forty years than in the entire two thousand-year history of the Church. That in itself should warn you something is very wrong. Revolution by its very nature is hostile to Catholicism, especially when it touches on Catholic doctrines. We should revere the deposit of faith as is handed-down, not look to alter it to make it more accommodating or politically correct. Our faith is what has been transmitted through the ages, not what the Pope himself has decided to invent. Novelty has no part in it, and while this change to the rosary is a tiny part of a much bigger picture, it is nevertheless symptomatic of the same evil that is attacking tradition on all other fronts.
