"I'm not talking about "my" rosary or "your" rosary, which are voluntary and can have whatever mysteries we like."
Dajjal, in post #220:
"I read Lady In Blue as saying that she no longer says the other fifteen."
It sounds like you ARE talking about "my rosary" or "your rosary", despite your protestations otherwise.

Posts #218 and #220 are on two different topics. That's why they are two different posts.

For all you know, she may be saying all 20 in one day. Then what would you say?

I would apologize for misreading her post. But it was a side comment in #178 and not essential to my thesis that Pope John Paul II has rendered the 15-mystery rosary and the wealth of supportive literature and artwork obsolete and unusable.

Are our prayers less pleasing to God if we use the luminous mysteries?

I never said that. I simply lament that the pope chose to tinker with the Rosary rather than introduce these meditations as a new chaplet, for the reasons given above in posts #5-7, 10, 178 & 218-220.

As I said way back at the beginning of the thread, I think this is nit-picking.

And you are intitled to that opinion. But I disagree. While the Rosary is not essential to the Catholic faith, history has given it a place of central honor and prominence. I lament that the pope chose to transmogrify it. That is my opinion, for the reasons given above.

<> transmogrify? Get a grip..your opposition to the Pope is causing you to make inane statements. You seem to entertain seriously that your personal opinion is as valid as the Pope's thoughtful and wonderful contributions to the Faith. Good grief...has your devotion to the Rosary not taught you any humility?<>
