is a description of the outward appearance.

You seem to be saying this as a good thing. Am I not understanding your answer?

Maybe I haven't been clear. TO judge by the outward appearance is NOT good. It is explicitly spoken against in Scripture. It is, as I said, like describing the marital act as "insert tab A into slot B". That may be accurate as far as it goes, but it misses the "what-it-is-ness" entirely.

Similarly, to say,"The Rosary is....," and then give a description of a method of the recitation, is is to miss what the Rosary is in favor of what it looks like to someone not praying it.

Lovers, spouses, make love not just with certain bodily organs but with their hearts and minds. People praying the Rosary are engaging their hearts and minds in a way which cannot be seen and is entirely missed if all one notes is the prayers.

I hope that's clearer.
