I guess that makes the Pope the Grand Dragon. Explains the pointy hat. /s
How things have changed - and for the worse...
Roserys were issued on request by the Army in WW1 and 2.
Now, if you are a Christain the military - you have a target on your back.
So glad I retired when I did - *no way* would I recommend a military career to anyone today.
The label “extremist” is used to indicate that their rights are forfeit, and the government has permission to hurt them. Consequently, even the majority of Americans is “extremist” about several issues.
A cold civil war is indeed underway
I am not Catholic, and the Atlantic’s hit piece made me want to buy a really nice Rosary.
The Rosary is an extremist symbol?! The atheists won’t be satisfied until they have driven religion - except islam apparently, I mean they would never say that any aspect or dogma of the moon-god worshipping cult is extremist - is driven underground. And personally I do not want to live in a atheistic society.
Neither am I, but I could hang it from my rearview mirror...................
We (spouse and I) considered making one with different beads and symbols. We would use Protestant creeds and verses we want to memorize to fill it up.
This gives a push to do just that.
That’s a jolly good idea!
I am not a Catholic. I respect the many who are strongly conservative, pro-family and pro-life. They are not to blame for the failure of courage by leaders (and members) who let their local churches censor anything anti-Dem and hope that by meekly cowering they will so please Biden and Pelosi and the people in the pews who vote Democrat, that the leaders in DC will permit them to go on cowering in peace.
When there was talk (never action) that the council of bishops might scold Biden and Pelosi implicitly by a condemnation of such outright sinning con artists from gaining votes and status by saying “I am a devout Catholic” while strongly enabling and funding abortions-—a mortal sin—some Dem Party operatives openly said they would see that the Church’s non-profit shield would be taken away as punishment because they went over the line of church and state. A threat!
By the way, one excuse was maybe Biden and Pelosi could only be condemned if they actively participated in the performance of an abortion themselves. Incredible.
And they gave up to the Dems and said only a few nondescript
mumblings, letting Biden and Pelosi off the hook. Followed by Roe and the literal violence and destruction of pro-life places by the pro-abortion Dems.
The Left is out to destroy religions.
Their Stalin,Mao and others knew that Communists need to take away the people’s faith and family cohesiveness in order to totally dominate them and enslave them. The State is their replacement for God and the sooner the wimpy compromising element of the religious faiths understand that, the better.
Breaking news! FBI demands rosary vendors turn over names and addresses of purchasers!
Will the corrupt FBI pay them a visit in their homes and steal their passports? Will nun convents be raided at 4 AM?
Bitter clingers continued...
Well…One of the 15 promises IS getting Grace for spreading the rosary devotion
Guess I should tell the wife that she is now on our communist master’s “potential terrorist list”...
To make it worse, for many years she attended a catholic church on Rosaryville Road...
A clear example of why a scorched-earth approach is the only way out of this tyranny...
Hi.
I don’t usually pray the Rosary, but will this Sunday.
Not to piss off my Protestant brethren, but to piss off the “Alantic,” and their readers.

“Why you will not got on the train, Citizen? We are only taking you to Summer Health Camp for health examinations and necessary immunizations. You DO wish to be healthy, for your own and others benefit, right? Now, please to get on the train. All will be well. We have only your best interests in mind.”
Exactly. Remove religion from society and replace it with worship of the state. How did that work out for the USSR?
Welp, that makes about 2 million American men in the Knights of Columbus “extremists”. The majority (if not all) Councils pray the Rosary monthly.
Not to mention others that hang their Rosary from the rear-view mirror of their car.
There is no virtue in the pursuit of secularism, and there is no extremism in the pursuit of heavenly assistance. (To paraphrase the late, great Barry Goldwater).
