There isn't one because that's not what Catholicism has ever taught. Attacking a straw man is fallacious.

If it's not okay to ask others to pray for us, why did Paul ask his churches to pray for him?--how is this not going through created beings?

The original Rosary based on the Psalms was also Roman Catholic. The current Rosary also has Our Father's, which is praying to God. The Hail Mary's are only prayed after the Our Father's. The Psalms are divided into different groups with different themes. The current Rosary is a shorter way of praying the same themes. The Our Father's and Hail Mary's are designed to help visualize the associated Scripture readings. If you take out the Scriptures that go with the beads, you're not doing the Rosary the way the Catholic Church teaches it.

Catholics pray TO Mary. That's the difference.

That Romam Catholicsm has prayer beads speaks volumes. Next we'll be told to wear a piece of cloth to avoid the hell fire.....oh wait. Roman Catholicosm has that too.

How major will the disruption in the force be if they are NOT prayed in the correct order?
