this guy thinks the 2nd coming of Jesus is literally the eucharist
The Rosary is a devotion and not a sacrament. There have been many modifications to the Rosary for devotional purposes. for example, the 7 Sorrows of Mary Rosary. There is also a more ancient form of the Rosary that was more popular in the East. it's called the Rule of the Theotokos. It has a few of the Luminous Mysteries in there.
To go by Marshall's points
To be heretical would to be to go against Catholic teaching. The Rosary is a devotion and not dogma. The Luminous Mysteries in no way go against what the church has taught.
- isn't it completely possible that Our Lady inspired St. JPII to put together the Luminous Mysteries? I think we can all agree (besides a few people) that he was an extremely holy man with a deep and sincere love for Our Mother.
- where does it say that the Rosary is strictly 15 decades? That nothing can be modified. If so, any way that you modify the Rosary for personal devotion is no good. If you want to be puritanical, be fully puritanical.
- again, the nod to modifications on the Rosary. Rosary of the Holy Wounds, St. Anthony's Rosary, Servite Rosary.
