The biggest thing is probably lack of knowledge, and the praying to Mary and the Saints.Ref: Its a Good repetations. Verses are:Isaiah 6:3, Daniel 3:51-90, Matthew 26:36-44, Luke 6:12, Luke 18:1,3-5, Luke 21:36, Acts 12:5, Romans 1:9-10, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 3:10, 1Thessalonians 5:17, 2Timothy 1:3, James 5:16, Revelation 4:8, Psalms 136, Exodus 17:8-13, Luke 18:1-8.
Its useful repetations why they attack on Catholics?
It is a misunderstanding, not understanding that praying the Rosary, etc, is not vain repetition, but instead meditative prayer.Ref: Its a Good repetations. Verses are:Isaiah 6:3, Daniel 3:51-90, Matthew 26:36-44, Luke 6:12, Luke 18:1,3-5, Luke 21:36, Acts 12:5, Romans 1:9-10, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 3:10, 1Thessalonians 5:17, 2Timothy 1:3, James 5:16, Revelation 4:8, Psalms 136, Exodus 17:8-13, Luke 18:1-8.

Repetitious prayer I believe, is condemned in old and new testaments. I don’t have the verses off hand but perhaps someone else knows them…When have non-Catholics said that Catholics pray in vain repetition? I’ve been a Protestant all of my life and never heard that.
Your quote above is incorrect, here is the bible verse:Repetitious prayer I believe, is condemned in old and new testaments.
I had used part of that as a montra, and meditated for several days. The meditation became a mind expansion after only about a half an hour. It was a very beautiful experience, and a spirit of some sort would enter my expanded mind each time I had difficulty in repeating the montra. She would issue a list of rules of symmetry, then I would become free again to continue with the meditation.God also accepts the praises of the holy angels who "rest not day and night, saying, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come” (Apocalypse/Revelation 4:8). Evidently, not all repetitious prayer is “vain repetition”!
First who are “they”? All Non Roman Catholics?They are talking about the Rosary in which they do not understand. The Rosary are the prayers from the Gospel. In the Protestant churches, they constantly repeat themselves by saying their chants at least 50 times in a row. One woman told me she is tired of repeating the same old line.

Shocking as it may seem to you, some actually pray the rosary. The Rosary is mostly not prayers from the gospels as you put it. Each of the 15 mysteries relates to an event that is believed. Some are supported directly by scripture and others are believed by the Roman Church such as the Assumption and Crowning of Mary. Between each are 10 hail Mary’s. There is at the beginning a recitation of the Apostles creed, and there is an Our Father at the beginning of each mystery. A Glory Be… is also included. At the end are recitation of a number of prayers, usually including the Hail Holy Queen, The Memorarae, and others, depending. We always used to end with St. Michael’s.
there are many rosary openings. Some have long written out mysteries, the basic allows the person to simply meditate on each mystery as they choose. Some have virtues to meditate on as well, and some have closing prayers to each decade.
Some rosary’s are prayed as 9 day novenas others as much longer. One of the better long ones is the Novena to Our lady which takes 54 days, half in petition, half in thanksgiving.
Like other prayers such as the Jesus prayer, they are meant to allow the mind to settle in silence and produce a deep contemplation of God or the events of the various mysteries.
You are in error in using the phrase " all Protestant churches" and then making a statement. Each denomintion has it’s own practices, and while they overlap, there is no basis for claiming that ALL do anything.
Er, excuse me, but I do not need a non-Catholic to tell me about the Rosary. THE ROSARY ARE IN FACT THE PRAYERS FROM THE GOSPELS. Every prayer is in the Gospel. If you do not know this, you do not know the Gospel.First who are “they”? All Non Roman Catholics?

Then don’t read it. Why so hostile to someone who speaks well the Rosary? Stop looking for disagreement where there is none.=OneTrueCathApos;4915426]Er, excuse me, but I do not need a non-Catholic to tell me about the Rosary.
The Apostle’s Creed is not found in the Gospel. The second part of the Hail Mary is not found in the Gospel. But that doesn’t keep it from being a good and pious meditation.THE ROSARY ARE IN FACT THE PRAYERS FROM THE GOSPELS. Every prayer is in the Gospel.

The apostles Creed is most definitely found in the Gospels. The Creed is the life and death of Jesus Christ…Then don’t read it. Why so hostile to someone who speaks well the Rosary? Stop looking for disagreement where there is none.

No it is a synthesis of ideas from the gospels and maybe a few other books. It leaves out a lot of what Jesus actually taught. Probably because the churches are most loyal to what Paul taught.The apostles Creed is most definitely found in the Gospels. The Creed is the life and death of Jesus Christ…
What chants? Protestant (Salvation Army/Baptist) all my life and I’ve never heard of repeating chants 50 or more times in a row. The most I can think of is that we often repeated the last line of many songs.They are talking about the Rosary in which they do not understand. The Rosary are the prayers from the Gospel.

**We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,No it is a synthesis of ideas from the gospels and maybe a few other books. It leaves out a lot of what Jesus actually taught. Probably because the churches are most loyal to what Paul taught.
Why do you think that the Apostles creed in non-biblical?**We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and earth, ( not in the bible?)
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, (not in the bible?)
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary (oh, that’s not in the bible either?)
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified died and was buried (yep, not in the bible).
He descended to the dead, on the third day He arose from the dead,
He ascended into heaven, and is seateth at the right hand of the Father
From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sin, and the Resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come . Amen.
Yep, none of this is in the bible whatsoever.**
