From the same link I just posted: “Many Protestants now say the rosary, recognizing it as a truly biblical form of prayer—after all, the prayers that comprise it come mainly from the Bible.”

Hey annalex, I believe the net is helping to dispel a lot of the old myths about the RCC and the Our Blessed Mother. It’s been a long time coming. :}
Yes; full access to searchable scripture, to the writings of the Fathers, and to the catechetical material on the Internet is a severe blow to the wobbly edifice of Protestantism, of which it is not likely to recover.
When my wife became ready to convert from Protestantism, she decided to give her Baptist pastor a chance. He gave her two books. One was a guide to the writings of the Church fathers that carefully avoided citing the most Catholic-sounding passages from St. Ingatius, while taking issue with some peripheral matter in the adjacent chapters. The other was a brief overview on the history of the Early Church, that -- miracle of miracles -- did not support his claim that there have always been a Baptist Church anyway. A half-hour with Google was all I needed to make salad of these two.
Thank you very much for the link you provided in your post...it is very helpful and useful to me...
