Atlantic contributor Daniel Panneton declared that the Catholic rosary has become a "symbol" of religious radicalism.

The rosary is a string of beads or knots used by Catholics as they pray a sequence of prayers, but one writer warned they have taken on a far darker meaning in modern times. "Just as the AR-15 rifle has become a sacred object for Christian nationalists in general, the rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics," Panneton claimed in the Sunday piece titled "How the Rosary Became an Extremist Symbol."

He added, "On this extremist fringe, rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politics and absolutist gun culture. These 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."

This is the stupidest thing I have ever read.

Or the devil himself inspires these thoughts of this writer.

Or both.

I'll leave this here then. They are nice and heavy duty. Hand melted down and made out of old gun and metal parts into replica rosaries given to our boys going overseas in ww2.


Battle Beads. WW2 style gunmetal rosaries

Even worse they think the rosary is a “sacrament”. They don’t have a clue about a key sacramental in the oldest continuous institution of humanity. The editor should be asked a few questions.

Marxism will eventually fully infiltrate the church.

To all th Protestants on here. See how the Devil hates the rosary. Maybe Mary,the Mother of God,truly is someone we can rely on and ask for help.

And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. -Matt 6:7-8


Also, Mary can’t hear prayers because she is not omniscient, nor is she omnipresent.

Pray to the Father through the Son, the only mediator between God and man.

Good, a few days ago I started the process to become Catholic so they can kiss my rosary.
