Answer 2

The Rosary is not the only form of meditative/contemplative forms of prayer in Catholicism.

The theological topics one can meditate/contemplate are limited only by the imagination.

The Rosary itself does follow a formular of four groups of five mysteries, with each group given specific days on which to meditate them specifically.

The point is, the Rosary in no way limits meditative/contemplative prayer. When one prays the Rosary, they pray the Gospels. I have no problem with the current groups of mysteries used when praying the Rosary.

As you have implied, there is more than just 20 theological realities to meditate on. Believe me, Catholic prayer consists of meditating and contemplating "all these things" just as Mary does.

Answer 3

Of course. There are many variations of scriptural rosaries, and one can meditate on any part of the NT while saying a rosary. I like to remain in the gospels when doing so, in keeping with the the Christ-centeredness of the traditional devotion.

Answer 4

Life is just one big mystery or dream take your pick.

Answer 5

I could tell you so many things but I'll just say this
Rosary is not mention on the bible, or trinity, or purgatory,
or limbo(a place where people go if they died non-catholic)
all that is only things the catholic church made up just look at their behaviour that says it all so if you ask me the pope is part of the anticrist.
