My observations of Catholics who repeat Mary’s prayer over and over again, do so with the expectation that the amount of prayer while somehow increase the amount of intercession on their behalf

When you boil it all own, we are still at the same place. You assume that Catholics pray in a vain way, you assume what their "expectations" are.

Care to ask any real Catholics on this thread what they really believe?

I have asked may Catholics, including my Mother in law, her priest, nuns at the Catholic school my wife attended (Saint Marys in Leavenworth, KS) and my recovering Catholic wife.

I have received an consistent response from them but I’m more than willing to hear the opinions of others.
