The Credo, Ave Marias, and Pater Nosters of the Rosary burn them. Words of God are acid in their ears. They’re definitely crusading for the wrong side.
You are definitely right, TheOldLady, and thank you for posting this, SurroundedbyBlue.
I agree with many posters on this thread that demons are at work in what happened to this priest.
I am not a Roman Catholic — I am confessionally required to believe some pretty strong things about the Mass — but when attending Roman Catholic funerals and prayer services, I recite as much of the Rosary as I can do in good conscience. There certainly is enough Scripture in the Rosary and the Creed and the Lord's Prayer for even the most committed Protestant to believe the demons respond in anger when confronted by the Word of God.
You can know a lot about someone by seeing who their enemies are. For a Catholic priest to be called a “hateful bigot” for praying the Rosary on a public street in defense of a restaurant chain owned by evangelical Christians is not something that would have happened sixty or seventy years ago. As evangelical Protestants and traditional Roman Catholics, we need to stand together as much as we can in cases like this.
