On August 14, The Atlantic published a blasphemous article by Daniel Panneton titled, “How Extremist Gun Culture Is Trying to Co-Opt the Rosary.” In it, he tries to portray the sacramental, first promoted by Saint Dominic, as an extremist far-right symbol that poses a violent threat to society. Here are some of the things the author said in his article:
* Attacking those who faithfully recite the Rosary in reparation for sin, he stated that “armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal.”
* He considers the Rosary a tool that radical-traditional Catholics use to “literally demonize their political opponents and regard the use of armed force against them as sanctified.”
* He openly links the sacramental to “conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture.”
These attacks are not only offensive to faithful Catholics who devoutly recite the Rosary, but also distort the nature of the holy Rosary itself! He blasphemously reduces the Rosary to a good luck charm appropriated by an extremist fringe.
This dishonorable attack against the Rosary must be opposed. Please, join me in protest!
Thank you. And may Our Lady reward you!
Surely not!!
She loves us all!
But MILLIONS will swear that they have HELPED millions!
You’ve made Mary cry!
It hasn't worked on FR; so...
One needs to use a Green Scapular to do that:
While the rosary, the Memorare, and other prayers are wonderfully powerful ways to intercede for others, Our Blessed Mother decided, in 1840, to help us get a little more creative in regards to how we pray for healing and spiritual conversion for the people in our lives.Exactly six years later, Mary appeared again, and Sr. Justine asked her these important questions. Our Lady’s reply was surprisingly simple and rather intriguing:“This scapular is not like others [it is not based on a religious habit] but merely two holy images on a single piece of material. Therefore, no special formula is required to bless it or enroll someone in its use. It suffices that it be blessed by a Catholic priest and worn by the one whom we desire to benefit by Our Lady’s intercession. If, on the other hand, the person is unable, or even unwilling, to wear it or carry it, it may even be slipped, unknown to them, into their clothes, possessions, home or work environments, etc."

The apparition, who claimed to be Mary, has a slightly different take on things:
The 15 promises(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)
1 Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces. 2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. 3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies 4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. 5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. 6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying Himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise Him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. 7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. 8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. 9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. 10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. 11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. 12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. 13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death 14. All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. 15. Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem,
no matter how difficult it is, wheter temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary.
There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."
Sister Lucia dos Santos
Well, kinda...

Yup
If we don’t like all the media being controlled by the left and unbelievers; then we’d better put out a product of our own.
Does your screenname indicate that you have one 15” scope?
(If it is a 115” scope; then you sure ain’t no amateur!)
Amen! I’m sure the Blessed Virgin Mary will keep her promises.
I have a set of (Holy) Ghost rosaries that I made in my secret home workshop.
Not to her husband.
Don’t forget...she is a Jewish mother!
It is said that every Hail Mary recited is a wallop on Satan’s head.
I love playing whack-a-mole with Satan.
I’m impressed.
You know more about Mary, the Mother of Jesus, than many modern Catholics do.
Yes...just like she did at that wild wedding party in Cana. 😹🌹🍷
Beautiful!
