[St. Johann Tetzel]

Um, not to be a pain about this, but NCR could have done a little more homework on the origin of the Rosary.

This article is seething with contempt and condescension for the Rosary and is mockingly patronizing towards this pious practice and those slantbrowed neanderthal Catholics who are still attached to its usage.

This thing is a typical cynical NCR hitpiece on the Rosary, as the author breaks his arm to pat himself on the back because he takes a few minutes out of his hectic week to patronize his old relative and join her in wearing out her worry beads.

Anyone who sees this as "a nice little article" knows nothing about NCR or their agenda, or else agrees with it explicitly.

I don't believe I implied that. I do know what NCR is up to. And as a person who inhereited three family Rosaries in the last month and goes to Mass half an hour early just to say one in peace, this article did yank my chain, as it were.

I guess the fact that the origins of the Rosary were blurred here was my point. If you know the origins, it becomes far more difficult to insult the prayers.

You are the most cynical person on this forum.
