which Protestant denominations do actually say the rosary?

I am sorry sir but I do not believe you. Anglicans do not refer to the church as her but as all of us are the body of Christ including Catholics as well. We all make up the church and I doubt if you could refer to everyone included as “her”.

Some Anglicans do, indeed, and this seems an odd complaint. The Church is the Bride of Christ, to be sure.

You also lay claim that Mary is the mother of the church. If that is so, wouldn’t that make her Jesus’ mother in law??

Well, you had better. Churches, like nations and ships, are traditionally referred to as “she.”

This almost looks as if it were adressed to me. If so, I don’t remember making such a claim. Few Anglicans would.

I;m Anglican and I certainly would never refer to Mary as the mother of the church. That would be outrageous.

dessert;2104186:

The Catholic Church validates(confirms, gives evidence for, approves,corraborates, verifies) because she does test the spirits.

Forgive me for saying so, but I am so sick of hearing the Catholic church refered to as “her”.

Why?

Why?

Contarini is a Protestant (Episcopalian), and he refers to Churches as “she”.

Actually, the Lutherans who say the Rosary say the form that was the common form at the time of the reformation. It is the Roman Catholics who say a version where the words were changed.

For example, in 1568 the Roman Catholics added the last line of the Hail Mary to the “official” version:
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

I thought the Lutheran version went something like "Hail Mary, full of Grace Alone…

158; Why is the Church called the “Bride of Christ”?

*She is called the “Bride of Christ” because the Lord himself called himself her “Spouse” (Mark 2; 19 The Lord has loved the Church and has joined her to himself in an everlasting covenant. * Compendium

Why? Do you not apply to yourself the words Jesus addressed to the beloved disciple on the Cross: “Behold your mother”? If not, why not? Even if you find this a bit of a stretch, why is it outrageous?

I know this thread is crazy old, but I’m a member of the Church of the Nazarene and I pray the rosary daily, but I replace the Hail Mary with the Jesus Prayer.
