Rosary Catholic

Is it a sin for a Catholic to hang rosary beads from the rear view mirror of their brand new Corvette?

True story and a follow up question to the one on the Oakley sunglasses. Point being what about balance and all those who say about giving to the poor?

TY

1) How do you know they aren't giving to the poor? I just bought a new house, does that mean I'm not giving to the poor? I mean, my house costs a LOT more than a corvette.
2) Nothing wrong with Rosaries hanging from the rear view. Hopefully it actually gets used. Otherwise, the rosary doesn't mean much. I've had one hanging there before. Then I'd remember to take it into places where I'd have a long wait and pray or whatever.
3) What the heck does this say about balance? Nothing. The only thing I can guess is you're trying to say something about spending lots of money on new car and then showing some sign of religion. If this is what you're trying to say, I refer back to point 1. So what?

Now, if this guy is doing NOTHING to help others, then it means he isn't really doing a good job of following his faith. I don't buy new cars anymore (I have in the past) because I don't want a car to loose most of it's value as I drive it off the lot. I tend to buy 1 or 2 year old cars still in good shape with low mileage.

As long as you are also helping others, it doesn't really matter what you spend the rest of your money on. There are billionaires out there who spend a lot more money on cars and the like and they give millions, even billions to charities. (I think a lot of their charity choices are bad, but that's my opinion)

But here is a return question: aren't you being a bit presumptous to judge someone soley by seeing a rosary in a new car? That seems to be doing a lot of judging on low evidence.

Listen To The Rosary On Cd Tonite and Improve Your Outlook

Many people claim that they are overcome with a sense of calm when they recite or listen to the rosary on cd. It is not surprising because the rosary is a meditative prayer. So, if you are under a lot of stress, or worried about your finances or work, you might be able to feel better by either reciting the rosary or even if you justlisten to the rosary on cd. But how did the rosary get started?

The first version of the rosary came from the third and 4th centuries. At that point, most folk were unable to read or write but they were capable of memorizing and reciting a series of short prayers. However, while concentrating on these prayers, it was hard to keep count of how many prayers were being recited. So, people used knots or pebbles to represent each prayer so they could make it easier to keep track of the number of prayers they recited.

The rosary was given to the Church by St. Dominic in the 13 century. It was said that he received it from the Blessed Virgin as a means of converting sinners. The original rosary design was repeatedly changed thru the centuries. And, by the point of the Renaissance, it developed into the form that we know today.

The rosary makes reference to a group of prayers and meditations. A string of beads is used to keep track of the sequence of prayers. While saying each prayer, you should focus on the life of Jesus Christ and his mother, the Virgin Mary. The rosary is important to Roman Catholics, who consider it holy. Many Catholics use it as a method of meditation and reflection and as a daily and methodical approach towards prayer.

The rosary is composed of a succession of beads known as rosary beads. These beads are prepared in five sets of ten, called decades. On most rosary beads, a larger bead or a decorative bead separates each set. The beads end in a little pendant that typically contains an image of the Virgin Mary. This is followed by a short string of one bead, 3 beads and one bead placed at small intervals. At the end of this formation, there is usually a crucifix.

You can buy rosary beads from Catholic bookstores and through the internet. Some churches also sell them or give them away. And, you can also purchase audio cd's of the rosary. Rosary recordings make it very convenient to listen to the rosary on cd while commuting to work, traveling, exercising or in the comfort of your home.
