Are you not seeing something out of proportion here?

You certainly are. Examine the various mysteries which are the true focus of the Rosary, not the words of the prayers being said. They are in no way disproportinatly about Mary.

So many can't see the forest for the trees of the Rosary. It's a way to contemplate the various stages (mysteries) of the life of Jesus.

Dave, with all respect, I'm seeing 53 "Hail Marys" against 12 "Our Fathers" or "Glory to the Fathers" in any given five-mystery Rosary. If this were a forest of 65 trees, 53 of which were pine and 12 of which were maple, would I be missing the forest for the trees if I looked own on it from a hill and called it a pine forest?
