All truth needed to believe the gospel and grow fully in grace is contained in Scripture.
Nowhere in the Bible is abortion mentioned by name, yet Christ surely knew it would become the worst sin in America and the world today. And no one can grow fully in grace that believes in killing children before they are born. I, myself, carry a rosary with me pretty much 24-7, and I can't tell you how many times someone (usually a store clerk) has picked up my rosary when I'm at the register, commenting on its beauty (it's an enormously beautiful rosary), and then they follow that up with talking about Mary or Catholic schools, etc. or just how important prayer is in the world today. While I also wear a scapular, medals, and a cross at times (they've never once been commented on), it's the rosary that grabs the attention of others; it's Our Mother leading people to her Son.

Does the name of Jesus ever come up, or is your rosary leading these people to your Church???

People just don’t realize that the Rosary mysteries are about the Life of Christ, do they. We say the name of Jesus with each “Hail Mary”

Prayers for the unbelievers.

And good for you as you evangelize in this way.

NOPE.

I don’t think that’s an accurate explanation at all.

I think it’s far more likely that such attractions to the Rosary are a common fixation on a farmiliar object that has a very human aura of MOTHER DEAREST about it—something comforting, rosey, idyllic, manipulatable.

In the end . . . idolatrous—an object that has taken on an aura of magic—even in the minds of non-RC’s.

Where are rosaries mentioned, mandated, or even suggested in Scripture for the full growth to in grace to maturity of a believer?

And your blasphemous reference to "Our Mother" is damnable.
