In other words, given what I wrote above, if the Rosary is some demonic devotion disguised and designed by Satan himself, he sure did screw it up.

You may want to re-think that.

Notice your comment....if I neglect my time with Mary and God.

One of the errors of the Israelis in the OT is they mixed in a little error with their worship of God.

The Rosary, with its repetitive prayer and overwhelming emphasis on prayer TO Mary is not Scriptural. Is some scripture in the prayer? Yes...but so is false teaching.

If Satan can get you, or anyone else, praying to, worshipping a created being as Roman Catholics do with Mary....then he's accomplished his objective.

When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray...what did He teach them?

Our Father who art in Heaven and your "mother" Mary....?

NO!

The prayer, as all prayers should be, are directed to the Creator.

You see...when you get away from scripture as your ultimate source of truth, you open yourself up to error.

AMEN! And how about the statues of Mary that they have in churches that they kneel before and worship her? I guess the 2nd Commandment (1st Commandment in the Catholic church)means nothing to them either.
