Is someone trying to get us away from our rosaries?
Sure looks like it, with The Atlantic's out-of-the-blue hit piece on, of all things, the rosary.
Here's the alarm:
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. 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.

In case you missed all the nuance and subtlety, the great reset is about removing Christianity from the World.

If I have never read an Atlantic article before, why would I start today?

I respect and love my catholic brothers and sisters and if I understand correctly, their rosary concentrates their mind during their prayers. Good for them.
A rosary draped on a rifle…you bet. Slaves pray, but if you want to pray as a free man, you’re going to need that rifle eventually. That’s becoming more clear as the years go by. Remember the Soviet years when religion was repressed in Russia? Old people were the only ones who snuck into their churches to worship the Lord. This article is part of the trend that that’s happening in our country.

Most certainly religion has to be stopped.
By any means. CDC closed churches. All denominations. But Walmart was open.
I can pray anytime anywhere.

What's with the dems. If they don't like something, they want it banned or taken off tv etc. If Republicans, who tend to be free thinkers, don't like something, they ignore it, change the tv channel etc. The dems are certainly a closed minded lot.

The next thing on the crazies list will be the little crosses worn around the neck. They can't help themselves, I believe 100% they are totally insane.

I have my mother's rosary which my father gave her on their wedding in 1950. I also have one of my grandfather's rosaries with wooden beads that are worn with prayer. I have at least 6 of my own - my latest is a combat rosary based on a World War I model that is supposed to be unbreakable. I say it every day and I listen to the Bible in a Year podcast with Father Mike Schmitz. I suppose that makes me a terrorist.

It’s because they know. They know we have turned to prayer, en masse, to fight the evil that they represent. The rosary is a very powerful prayer. They know it is powerful and they fear it.

Was listening to Catholic Radio in the car. To summarize the words of one caller, "if you want to take on the Blessed Mother and the rosary, have at it, and good luck. You will need it."

So the communist/leftist/liberals have taken on the fears of vampires? Very interesting.

Please do not pray to anyone but God. If a rosary leads you to pray to a created being (Mary) stop it.....read Jeremiah chapter 7 and Jeremiah 44 for God's view of praying to the Queen of Heaven as well as God. Hint: It's not good.

I just came back from my morning walk which includes a daily Rosary. I agree that prayer to God via his mother is good for our nation.

While the Bill of Rights may protect speech, God will not be mocked. I'd highly recommend keeping one's distance from anyone associated with the Atlantic and the Panneton article. Is that ozone I smell?

Re: #3 - The article only references the Atlantic; it was was written for and published by American Thinker. The author, Monica Showalter, is a non-progressive author and her articles are generally worth reading.
Given the flood of Central and South Americans, largely associated with the Catholic faith, coming across the border, this administration is willfully allowing "extremists" potentially counterproductive to their communist transformation and the purge of God from our society.
Back in the late 60s, in the junior high associated with the U.S.A.F. base housing in which me and most of my friends lived, there were two very popular items worn by guys and gals alike: an ID bracelet and a St Christopher necklace. Most of us were protestants but the St. Christopher necklace was near-mandatory. I'm no longer sure of the current status of the St. Christopher but it wouldn't surprise me if it makes the "extremist' list, especially if one is labeled in the "rad-trad" Baptist category, common in small-town, non-metro Texas.

The leftists know that all the evil things they have done over the last century or so have been overcome by prayer, in spite of all the power plays they have used. In the end, prayer has overcome. And will again. No wonder they fear and mock the rosary.

"Atlantic" has been anti-Christian, and extreme leftist for a LONG time. This is pretty much Satanic.

#14, as a former Catholic (although there probably are no former Catholics - Voltaire was asked what religion he was, and he answered, "Atheist, but Catholic of course")I was taught that when one prays to Mary, one is asking for her intercession with God. And it goes to the biblical story of Mary and Jesus at the wedding, and the wine ran out, so Mary told Jesus to turn water into wine, and he did. Jewish mothers have extraordinary influence over their sons.
John Paul II turned the Church in a Marianist direction. She is considered to be a super saint, and she has special access to the Big Guy. (The Big Guy being God, not the Delaware Dunce.)

I have my uncle's rosary. He was on Guadacanal, the Philippines and the occupation. I have a number from my mother. I have mine from my first missilette. And more.
I pray to God. I use the Rosary. I guess that's a crime now. In which case, the Left has a bigger enemy than me.
