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.

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.
