I'll say. "Christofascists" ????Hugo Drax wrote: ↑06 Jan 2023, 16:37 Man, there are some responses here that are bat guano insane even by CPS standards.
Use whatever aid that helps you pray, brother. Beads, knuckles, heck, the desert fathers used pebbles.
I like the design of the one you've chosen and the company is run by good people. If it doesn't work out someone will gladly take it off your hands.
Not to point any fingers, but c'mon. Some people never run out of boogeymen.
I didn't imagine that you would go to the sidewalk and brandish your beads like some hooded KKK burning a cross. What a silly thought.tuttle wrote: ↑06 Jan 2023, 08:30 Well, the same type of thing is happening today. Folks fear the rosary. Especially the baby killing folks. And laws are again popping up in the UK and fears are swirling in the US regarding them. This particular rosary seems like a symbol of defiance to all of that.
Anyway, that's a bit of where my head is at. Any thoughts on a baptist using a rosary for aid in prayer, to also serve as a symbol of humility and a type of unity with brothers in resistance to demonic tyranny? Or is it just a bunch of cultural appropriation...
It takes courage, just to go the sidewalk. You are vulnerable, and the real fascists carry a certainty that they would be right to harass and even assault you. It takes more courage to carry rosary beads in your hands... might as well draw a target on your back. Anyone who has spent more than a few hours on the sidewalk has experienced scorn, ridicule, threats, angry horns, and a multitude of middle fingers. And sometimes.... we get to help a mother and save a child.
A pro-life woman was recently arrested in the London for praying silently outside the clinic. Real-life Orwellian fascists, prosecuting a woman for thought-crime. Okay.... she did admit to police that she "might have been praying." That's illegal now, in the land that was once "Mary's Dowry."
===========================
Mr. tuttle -- your comment of "cultural appropriation" made me laugh! We encourage everyone to pray the Rosary, and we tell no one that he shouldn't pray the Rosary.
I had never heard of this Irish Penal Rosary before. Even without its history, it looks like a great design for a pocket rosary.
