I guess I would say that I am Catholic and the Rosary is so incredibly powerful that it's difficult to describe. Praying it every day has caused me to go from somebody mostly going through the motions of my religion to being a really active, asserting Catholic who genuinely believes everything the Church teaches. Maybe I always had the potential to be that, but the Rosary unlocked it. It's an extremely powerful prayer, and one that is not to be underestimated. If you're feeling in doubt about Christianity it might set you at ease.

I did not imply that in the slightest you mongrel
We aren't moving farther from Christ in fact, we are perpetually moving closer to his second coming which you should be prepared to begin celebrating next Sunday

The true faith survives through persecutions, invasions, heresies, and satanic clergy/popes

Yeah, but the Rosary was literally given to us by the Mother of God. It's a special prayer. I can personally attest to its power.

Don't give up, Anon. I was once where you were. I started trying to give up masturbating and I seemed to make no progress at first.

But now it's been a few years, and I find I can go months without jerking off. Slow and steady wins the race.

But fair warning: I'm a devoted Catholic and my motivation is to cut sin out of my life entirely. So I do possess that reinforcement to change that you lack. Make of that what you will.

You'd be surprised. This site has a way of inspiring spiritual rigor, in more ways than one.

Have you considered praying the Rosary every day?

>idolatry of the Rosary

Mary literally gave Saint Dominic the Rosary on behalf of her Son. Why don't you go bitch to the Blessed Virgin about it? Maybe she'll hear you. Maybe she'll pay you a visit.

>and I'd say the Jesuits are probably the only order where it's promoted.

I am deeply suspicious of the Jesuits these days, mostly because they play so fast and loose with doctrine. I don't know how it happened, but they seem to have developed a lack of respect for the magesterium, and that's the last thing we need. The response to the disaster of Modernity and the scandals inside the Church should be to adhere more tightly than ever to the things we know are true, which are the core teachings of the Church. If we cling tightly to the Barque of Peter we'll be all right.

That's why my favorite priestly order is the Dominicans. They seem to be scrupulously adherent to the timeless teachings of the Church, and they're not shy about calling out heresy, at least based on the Dominican priests I've seen on social media. They seem to take the inheritance of Thomas Aquinas pretty seriously. Plus, on top of Aquinas, the Dominicans are devoted to the Rosary, which is something all Catholics can trust. When all else fails we should pray the Rosary, because the Blessed Virgin will always stand by her adherents.
