And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

Wow, what ever happened to love one another?
All the anti-Catholics are coming out in droves for this one, actually agreeing with The Atlantic. Wow.
Matthew 6:7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do
"Each of the four living creatures(A) had six wings(B) and was covered with eyes all around,(C) even under its wings. Day and night(D) they never stop saying:
“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come.”
You better explain this to the Holy Angel of Revelation.
Jesus was not criticising praise and adoration, only repetitive prayers (mantras)
16 words repeated for eternity sounds repetitive.
Perhaps you don't know that prayers are your personal relationship with your Lord and Creator. He wants you to personally tell him about your life, what you need and what you are appreciative of. What you are sorry for and who you have forgiven their trespasses. Praise is entirely different, it could be a song, it could be Psalms it could be the shedding of tears. Which are all repetitions and are all fine. But there is no personal relationship in a repetitive prayer.
I do agree that mindless and unfelt repetition is meaningless.
Modernism has reduced prayer to making the almighty the Santa in the sky.
27% of Christians admit to praying for sports outcomes. I have attended numerous modern churches and the lyrics of the praise songs and the sermons and the prayers are filled with me me me and I.
To each their own. But I'll follow the Lord's guidance when he answered that we should pray with "our father who art in heaven"
The others, the cross may be a stumbling block.
when you pray, do not use vain repetitions
Yes I see that. I apologize.

The examples of repetitious prayer in the Bible are also outlined on that site.
Praise, not prayers - big difference.
They can't. Protestants don't make intellectually honest arguments.
Reverse psychology. The atlantic and the catholic church are on the same team and have the same degeneracies. The atlantic may actually be less unclean than the catholic churches but whatever. The idea behind this is to get the imbecile non Bible readers to rally behind pagan symbolism that the rosary represents.
Prove it.
Um, no.
Perhaps the most emblematic sacramental in Catholicism is the rosary, that string of beads with a crucifix attached. Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart pictured one on the dust jacket of his anti-Catholic book, <Catholicism and Christianity>.1 Swaggart wrote, "The rosary (or prayer beads) was introduced by Peter the Hermit in A.D. 1090. This was copied from the Hindus and Muhammadans [sic]. The counting of prayers is a pagan practice and is expressly condemned by Christ (Matt. 6:5-7)."2
Aside from the fact that the rosary consists of prayer beads, Swaggart got nothing right. This is regrettable since such crude misrepresentations frighten away uninformed Christians from a powerful aid to prayer and contemplation.
Tradition links the rosary not to Peter the Hermit but to St. Dominic (1170-1221), who is said to have received it from the Virgin Mary to combat the Albigensian heresy. This legend seems to be derived from the writings of Alan de la Roche (1428-1475), that indefatigable Dominican preacher of the rosary. Modern critical scholarship from Dominicans and others reveals a far more complicated history, though one having nothing to do with Hindus and Muslims.

Stop telling lies about the Catholic faith. You could not be any more wrong. Freemason media HATES the Catholic faith. The Catholic faith is the target of their vile lies and infiltration. No one wants the Catholic church purged of Satanists more then the Catholics.
Read the Alta Vendita after you educate yourself on the Rosary.
Don't be a fool.

They attack the Rosary the same way they attack Trump. Use your noodle.
Prove it.
The catholic church was a combination of church and state put together by Constantine in 325 AD. The government at that time enforced a pagan Babylonian religion, that Bible believing Christians would not participate in. That's why Bible believing Christians were being burned at the stake and fed to the lions. The easiest way for Constantine to solve this problem was to join the two together. Not only did this combine christianity with paganism, the arians of the day, who denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ, force their way into the mix.
Idol worship was a pagan thing. Worshiping the Queen of Heaven was a pagan thing. Denying the priesthood of the laity and instituting a church hierarchy was a pagan thing. Clutching rosary beads, for real, it was a pagan thing.
Would you like to argue that the Atlantic isn't staffed by Babylonian pagans? Freemasonry, Jesuits, knights of Columbus you name it, they're just different unclean birds nesting in the same foul tree.
Using beads for devotions dates to the 8th century BC in the cult of Shiva.

It is not an idol.

Tell me how it is an idol please.
Also Jesus started the Catholic church. I don't bail on Jesus' established order.
Jehovas Witnesses believe the flag and the pledge to it is idolatry. They believe a cross in a church is idolatry.
