That's what you think. The plan in Rosarium Virginis Mariae includes special clauses telling us what to contemplate after the name of Jesus is recited in each and every Hail Mary, and then loading each decade down with "a special prayer for the fruits specific to that particular mystery." These are going to take various forms "to better adapt to different spiritual traditions and different Christian communities." The Fatima Prayer is out. But the glorias will be sung during the public recitations. There will even be some sermonizing by the priest who leads the recitation. If you can contemplate anything at all with all that activity going on, you would be the miraculous exception, believe me. Most of all, the idea is to deflect attention from Mary as Mediatrix of Graces, a belief held by Catholics down through the ages. Instead, we are to think more "Christologically"--as Protestants would.

This is more of the new religion fostered by this papacy. True Catholics will have none of it.
