Pillar 06

Church history & tradition

The rosary, prayer to saints, Sacred Tradition, the papacy — every practice has a history, and the history can be traced. This pillar asks one question of each: is it commanded, permitted, inferred, or historically developed? We engage the strongest Catholic arguments, not caricatures.

Mark 7:8

Where did the rosary come from? Tracing a practice to its sources

Every practice has a history, and history can be traced. The rosary's — from desert pebbles to the Marian Psalter to a fifteenth-century legend — told honestly, sourced from Catholic scholarship itself, and then measured against prayer as Scripture describes it.
