Rosary Power!
The superstitions associated with the Rosary are just tremendous, but a sincere belief in the power of the Rosary throughout Catholicism cannot be denied. I recall reading that the SSPX had prayed 1.7 Million rosaries (source – with critical Romanist commentary) from the time that they had come under Rome’s excommunication until the time the…

Indulgences are Back!
