. "Just as the AR-15 rifle has become a sacred object for Christian nationalists in general,
the rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics,"
Panneton claimed in the Sunday piece titled, "How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol."
He added, "On this extremist fringe, rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture.
These armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal."

Cue the American Carol image of nun with the rosary
I am beginning to like the Christian Nationalists. They have the right enemies for certain.

I know that TV uses the cross necklace in negative ways for negative characters and has for decades.
Oh boy...I see a great opportunity here to piss off the leftists. Everybody shows up at county commission, school board meetings thumbing a rosary.
I saw an upsidedown crucifix and a rainbow flag on a car yesterday...but we’re the haters...
Did they fall for another 4chan troll like the “OK” sign?
This is right out of the novel Brave New World.
Eventually, “Savages” who want to maintain their lifestyle will be forced to live on reservations. Tourists from the sybaritic cities will visit to gape and gawk at the residents.
Say what?!
OK, can we say that dead, mutilated unborn babies are a sacred object for Leftists?
I've heard interviews with exorcists who have said the Rosary makes demons frantic with rage and forces them to reveal themselves.
You see? It works.
There are a bunch of videos on YouTube of him being interviewed or participating in discussions.
Not quite "Christian Nationalism" but more like supporting the creation of Christian or Jewish communities within the US that support the US as a whole, but also can have a unique community based on their faith.
The Rad Trads are not radical rebels, but instead are radically obeisant. Because they are believers in the true Magisterium of the Church they believe they must defer to their local bishops regardless of their bishop's rulings.
Michael Matt of The Remnant, a key Rad Trad group, recently put out a video where he begged priests to have the courage to go against their bishops and continue to conduct Masses in the traditional Latin format. He did not beg his fellow laity to show similar courage. But implied that the laity should continue to pray the rosary and hope that a priest in their parish would show the necessary courage.
So there is nothing to fear from the Rad Trads or the rosary, unless God is listening and decides the US is still worth saving.
It’s not the Rosary that’s extremist, it’s their Pope that’s an extremist symbol.
Their opening gambit is slander and nothing they say can be taken at face value. Everything is a ploy. They are ployers.
