They Fear the Rosary, Just Like They Fear Trump

Fear of real justice produces strange reactions; the Raid on Trump was one of them.

Here's another.

...“Just as the AR-15 rifle has become a sacred object for Christian nationalists in general, the rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or ‘rad trad’) Catholics,” writes Toronto-based Daniel Panneton in an Atlantic article released the day before the Catholic feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (August 15)....

In defense of the writer, he cites someone who has been writing from the funny-farm for years.

 ...The writer cites progressive Church historian and commentator Massimo Faggioli in describing conservative Catholic bloggers as a “Catholic cyber-militia” that actively campaigns against LGBTQ acceptance in the Church and for whom “rosary-as-weapon memes represent a social-media diffusion of such messaging.”...

Faggioli gets away with his bulls**t because he has a European name and accent; many Americans erroneously conclude that that means he's highly intelligent.  (It's why many European conductors land large US orchestra contracts, by the way.)

The Rosary is, indeed, a spiritual weapon, and it is far more powerful than a mere AR.  Faggioli knows that, and (like the perfidious A.G. Garland and his Court Jester FEEB Wray in another context) display their fears with perverse mockery.  This is known as "whistling past the graveyard."

At least they know enough to fear.

Yes they fear the Rosary and mortal silence and sacred beautiful music and tradition
And of course the Latin mass
And anything that threatens anti-pope Bergoglio’s establishing a new religion

Fear what? Listen, we all know you're not going to pull a Kyle, or be on the front lines of a civil war. You just don't have the stones to do it. If you were serious, you would have been at the January 6 insurrection and bragged all about it. You like playing cowboy.
