The Atlantic Goes Over the Edge in Its Attack on the Rosary – Opinion

We’ve seen people on the left have a lot of extreme takes on the left to demonize those who think differently or who may not act in line with the liberal narrative.

It’s even involved the FBI — with them demonizing patriotic American symbols like the Gadsden flag or the Betsy Ross flag as “extremist.”

These takes can be found at one venue: Atlantic.

But they went over the edge with their latest effort — claiming that the rosary has become an “extremist symbol.” The article depicts the rosary using bullet holes and erroneously refers to it as a “sacrament.”

First, let’s start with the fact that if you don’t even know what the sacraments are, don’t pretend like you’re conveying anything that is at all accurate. There are seven sacraments in the Catholic Church — the rosary is not one of them.

But then let’s go to the heart of the attack of the rosary. Atlantic is the same outlet that plays down the attacks on pro-life centers (many of them Catholic) calling firebombing “vandalism” and attacking the right into the bargain.

Notice how the radical pro-abortion extremists aren’t termed as “extremist” in that headline, the Right is just creating a “bogeyman.” But somehow the rosary is “extremist” to Atlantic.

Let’s talk about the anti-Catholic bigotry that seems to be rampant. The suggestion that the Rosary could be a sign of hatred is absurd. Demonizing such an important part of the Catholic faith because some random people might post pictures of it with guns is like demonizing breathing because some people you don’t like do it.

MaybeAtlantic is talking about extremists and the rosary, they’re talking about Joe Biden? Beau Biden, his son, wore a rosary on his wrist. Biden seemed not to have a true understanding of the meaning of the rosary — for prayer to become closer to God from one of the comments he’s made in the past. “The next Republican that tells me I’m not religious,” he reportedly told a crowd in 2005, “I’m going to shove my rosary beads down their throat.”

Understandably, they received a lot of criticism from the public. They then changed their headline to make it look like they didn’t mean what they said, almost as though they were defending the rosary.

We appreciate your efforts, men, but it was clear what you were trying to convey.

This is the one truth that the writer has right. The rosary is a weapon, but it’s a prayer weapon in the war against evil. You can use the prayer of rosary to strengthen your faith, your belief, and your relationship with God. Only those on the other side should be concerned.
