History of the Rosary w Fr Donald Calloway & Dr Taylor Marshall

I'm a little disappointed. I thought this video would give the history of the physical rosary but all that was said is that "the beads had been in use for a long time before".

I wonder what caused the beads to come into existence in the first place. Was it just a method for keeping track of how many times you repeated the same prayer over and over again? I mean, in India, they have prayer wheels that don't really count prayers but each revolution of the wheel itself counts as a prayer.

So true. Who does the Apostle Paul call, "The mother of us all"? Everybody forgets how important this lady is.

I can't believe these people called themself the follower of Jesus Christ but don't follow what written in the bible. The idolatry to human seems like deeply rooten in them. I can imagine how satan rejoice because of these people. Repent! Turn your eyes and heart to God only, not to human, not even to Mary, or prophets, or apostles. Only to God!

I think that 20 Rosary's Mysteries broke with the Holly Trinity sense it must have 3×5 always 3 not 4.

People are still adding prayers. Sometimes, it is hard to keep up. One prayer is for our priests and more religious, beautiful, but sometimes I feel lost.

I am particularly drawn the wedding feast, too. The perfect example of Mary's intercession and Jesus's yes to that request.

rosary are mass produced and sold.....its all big con....

The PROTESTANTS are the PRODIGAL SONS of the R.C.C., and not the Prodigal (Sinful) Sons of God... They were like "PAPA/POPE like Prodigal SONS."... Why Prodigal?... they all came out from the Roman Catholic Church around the 15th Cent. A.D., no wonder, the R.C.C. are still praying and waiting for their Prodigal Sons with open arms...
"The DOGS always come back/return to EAT their own PUKE/VOMIT."... "As the PIGS, after had been washed and cleaned, come back/return to wallowing (play) in the mire (mud)." ...(ref. Proverbs 26:11 / 2 Peter 2:22)...
Facts and Truth of the Matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ... Amen.

True Christians who worship God in Spirit and in Truth (without Religious Statues, Icons, Rosary, Scapulars, Novena, etc.) whom God SEEK those worshippers... (ref. John 4:23-24), believed the R.C.C. are the ones who were deceived by Satan since the 4th Cent. A.D., putting the R.C.C. Oral/Spoken Traditions above and beyond/exceed the Authority of the Written "WORD of God" (Inspire Holy Scriptures)...
St. Paul clearly said, "DO NOT GO BEYOND/EXCEED WHAT IS WRITTEN." (ref. 1 Corin. 4:6)... or else... God's CURSE (Anathema/Eternal Damnation) will fall upon those who do." (ref. Galatians 1:8)...
Anyone who ADD or SUBTRACT (remove/replace the Context and Meaning of) the WORD of God (including Biblical Prophecies), God will REMOVE their Names from the BOOK OF LIFE... which means not saved... (ref. Rev. 22:18-19)
Facts and Truth of the Maters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.

That is a really good show. Taylor looking a little younger there.

I went to Catholic schools and high school, and I didn't do my confirmation because I wasn't sure if i wanted to be Catholic. After looking at other religions and getting to the point of needing to get married, what made me do the sacraments was the Rosary.. my love for Mary.
the Catholic church, with all its flaws is the only one that I know of that gives honor to Our Lady, which I look at her as the sacred Femine..as the mother of earth. That was my reason, and the way I interpret it

Thank you ... A very well coordinated discussion ... Black death ... Strong reminder ... The Queen eagerly waiting to year our intercession .. Ave Maria

I realize that Rosary is a critical part of preserving the faith in Christ. It's a wonderful weapon against heresies, which lure people in easily without tangible reminders of Christ's sacrifice.

🙏🏼💝🙏🏼 God bless you both a hundredfold!!!

The Christians love, respect, and honor Blessed Mary in the Biblical Way, no more and no less... but not in Man-Made (Non-Biblical) ways and attributes like the Catholics do to her...

Obviously, Satan can impersonate/imitate/disguise anybody including the Popes/Cardinals/Bishops/Priests... but most especially the Blessed Mary whom Satan can easily disguise thru APPARITIONS by dressing in a white robe with 12 Stars on her head and on her feet crushing the head of the serpent (Satan) which is Non-Biblical asking for the forbidden repetitive prayer of the Rosary to recite in bended knees or chastisement will fall upon us and to build Literal Catholic Chapels/churches in her honor and in return miraculous cure of illness, financial solutions, and answered petitions...
If Satan can imitate/impersonate/disguise the Son of God (Word/Christ Jesus) as the AntiChrist (666/Son of Perdition/Man of Lawlessness), more surely the Blessed Mary... for the purpose of deceiving mankind.

DECEPTION of APPARITIONS would not be by the hundreds or thousands only but by the MILLIONS... Amen.

I learned that St. Dominic was given the Rosary by the Blessed Virgin, and accepted that story of invention by divine intervention. Many years later, I learned that anecdote was only an austere version of the true story, simplified for young minds. The true origin of the Rosary is quite different, more interesting, and predates St. Dominic! Theologians have traced the origin of the Rosary back to the Ninth century, and a form of prayer that evolved in the monasteries of the early Irish church. Prayer and labor filled the days of the Irish monks, and one of the most important forms of monastic prayer was the daily chanting of the 150 psalms of David. Lay people around the monastery would hear the psalms every day as they were sung or recited, and the beauty of this form of prayer intrigued them. They yearned to join in, but the psalms were too long to memorize, copies could not be found since printing was rare, and few knew how to read Latin anyway. The lay people were however, determined to adapt this prayer form for their own use.

Sometime around 800 AD, the people's desire to participate led to their reciting The Lord's Prayer in response to every psalm recited by the monks. As this form of devotion became popular, people began to carry leather pouches of 150 pebbles, in order that they might keep count of their daily prayers when they were not in hearing distance of the monastery. A thin rope with 150 knots became less of a burden and soon replaced the bag of stones. The Celtic infatuation with the number three, soon saw the prayer rope evolve into a rope of 50 knots to be said three times, and this became an accepted standard.

When the Irish missionary monks began to travel and evangelize Europe, this form of devotion was brought with them. In some areas, clergy and lay people began to recite the Angelic Salutation which makes up the first part of the Hail Mary in response to the psalms. St. Peter Damien, who died in 1072, was the first to mention this form of prayer, the popularity of which led to the daily recitation of 50 Angelic Salutations on a knotted or beaded prayer string.

During the 13th century, the recitation evolved into yet another form. Medieval theologians began to interpret the 150 psalms as veiled prophesies about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and they composed a series of psalters, or praises, based on each interpretation. Soon 150 psalters in honor of Mary were also composed. In order to fit the existing prayer string, the psalters were divided into three "rosariums" or bouquets of 50 each. This was the form that St. Dominic knew, and promoted.

With the Church's emphasis on unity, it was inevitable that a planned combination of all the prayer forms was prescribed as a standard. The first step toward that standard took place about 1365 when Henry of Kalkar, Visitator of the Carthusian Order, divided the 150 salutations into decades of 10, with an Our Father preceding each. Around 1409, another Carthusian named Dominic the Prussian, wrote a book which attached a psalter of 50 thoughts, about the lives of Jesus and Mary, to a Rosarium of 50 Hail Marys. The division of the 50 Hail Marys into five groups of ten, or decades, with an Our Father before each, gave the modern Rosary its form, yet the evolution was not over.

In 1470, the Dominican, Alan of Rupe, founded the first Rosary Confraternity, thereby establishing the Dominican Order as the foremost missionaries of the Rosary. Then, during the Renaissance, the medieval form of a thought for each bead was abandoned in favor of a shorter version with a thought for each of the fifteen decades. These thoughts took the form of narratives, one of the most popular sets of which was written by St, Louis de Montfort around 1700. The fifteen narratives were divided into five Joyful, five Sorrowful, and five Glorious mysteries in the lives of Jesus and Mary, and the Rosary itself became a string of 50 beads to be prayed three times, with each time representing one of the three sets of mysteries.

In spite of centuries of evolution and change, the Rosary's Irish origins are still evident. The number of Hail Marys in the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries still total 150 - the exact number of psalms chanted by the early Irish monks in their monasteries, and answered by the faithful Irish outside in a responsorial pattern that became today's most popular form of devotion. It is significant that when Mary visited Knock in 1879, she was holding a Rosary.

Bought the book on Amazon because I was lead to believe it was exhaustively researched… was very disappointed when I read the section on Alan de la Roche and found that none of his works were cited nor even named. His Apologia, his Novellus Sponsus… very lacking in my opinion.

Wow I can't believe how unbiblical this church is. IT's almost Hard to believe that they read the same Bible that i read and still continue on with these non scriptual rituals Somebody made up and they follow to their detriment, how sad. I find similarities between the Catholic Church and the Church of the latter day saints also known as mormons. Both these institutions have decided that "sound doctrine" wasn't good enough , let's just do our own thing .

Excelente video Dr. Taylor. Bendiciones para todos desde Puebla, México.

This is a great interview, Dr. Taylor, but I must respectfully disagree with your comment about Evangelicals getting on board with the concept of Mary as "co-redemptrix."

They FIRMLY resist Mariology and rally around the historical Protestant belief in "Christ Alone," along with the other four of 'The Five Solas'. They have a hard enough time believing that Saints in heaven intercede for us; let alone can hear thousands of prayers being lifted up to them simultaneously.

The doctrine of Mary as 'Co-redemptrix' is hard enough for Catholics to grasp. Yes, Evangelicals are enthusiastic about "saving souls," but deeply resist the idea of anyone, human or angelic, being "mediators" or "redeemers" in any stretch of imagination.

Regarding St. Dominic, it is indeed a huge mystery that none of his sermons have survived; especially since the Dominicans are known as the Order of Preachers. We would expect to have volumes of his sermons; or at minimum, Sermons for Every Sunday of the Year.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if a lost stash of those were "unearthed" somewhere? I suspect they must have been lost in an unfortunate fire, where they were being preserved. If they existed, they may have been shared and moved around to different locations; and were lost in the process, unfortunately.

Mother Mary please bless father Callaway and Dr. Taylor Marshall and their work promoting you are the Holy Queen And the Catholic Church! Thank you Jesus!

🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏

🙏

Thank you Dr Marshall... even listening today to this interview with Fr Don five years back, I enjoyed it tremendously... thank you Fr Calloway. We love you. God bless 👐👐🕯🕯🕯

Christians can/my use Songs/Music/Melody of "SLOW Rhythm & Beat," like the Hymns/Psalms/Lullaby/Sentimental Ballad, Slow Rock...for Gospel of WORSHIP to God...
Christians can/may also use Songs/Music/Melody of "MEDIUM to FAST Rhythm & Beat," like Pop Music, Ballad, Reggae, Folk and Country Songs, Rock N' Roll, etc.... for Gospel of PRAISING, REJOICING, CELEBRATING, and THANKSGIVING to God... as long as ALL the LYRICS (Wordings) are not ANTI-GOSPEL... The Lyrics must conform with the Gospel of the Bible...
All these types/kinds of Songs/Music/Melody/Instruments (Beats & Rhythms) are not Blasphemous to God... The Bible even mentioned that in Heaven, the Angels Sing Songs of REJOICES (Fast beat Music) accompanied by all instruments like Harps, Drums, Strings, Trumpets, Trombone, Cymbals, Flutes, etc... All Musical InstrumentS (Rhythm and Beats) produce "GOOD SOUND MELODY" in God's Ears... but not all LYRICS (Wordings)... Facts and Truth, biblically speaking... Amen.

Let us Analyze the Title: "MOTHER of GOD"... Analogy/Metaphor, for example...
if I say "Mother of Human," therefore it follows that the Mother is also a Human and not an Animal.
If I say "Mother of Animal", therefore it follows that the Mother is also an Animal and not a Human.
If I say "Mother of Lion," therefore it follows that the Mother is also a Lioness (female Lion) and not a donkey or a camel.
If I say "Mother of Bird." therefore it follows that the Mother is also a Bird and not a whale or shark.
The Same Analogy and Metaphor...
If I say, "Mother of God," therefore it follows the Blessed Mary is also God (w/ Big "G") which means she is not created...
The Bible said, that God can also call us (humans), god/goddess (w/ small "g")... as in "gods & goddesses".... Does RCC claim, "Blessed Mary is a goddess" (w/ small "g")???

Conclusion:... If I say "Mother of Jesus"... Jesus is the Human name given to the WORD (Son of God), therefore, it follows that Blessed Mary is also Human, created by God.
Facts and Truth, logically and grammatically speaking... Amen...

Roman Catholics created the MAGISTERIUM to interpret and understand the scriptures... while Christ Jesus sent the "Holy Spirit" for the Christians as their guide to interpret and understand the Holy Scriptures... Fact and Truth, Biblically speaking... Amen.

Let us study and analyze... The Bible called SATAN, "the Wolf in Sheep Clothing."... therefore, if SATAN can "IMITATE/COPY/IMPERSONATE/DISGUISE" Christ Jesus, the Son of God,... and many God's People will be deceived even the Elect if possible, according to the Bible thru the ANTI-CHRIST...
Do you think Satan could not imitate/copy/impersonate/disguise Blessed Mary by doing Miracles, Signs, and Wonders as well as teaching the Repetitive Prayer of the Rosary for the purpose of DECEPTION?...
Is it POSSIBLE, that if Satan can disguise as Christ Jesus, there is no reason why Satan can not able to disguise also as Blessed Mary... For SATAN is the former Light Bearer, and Satan can still disguise as the LIGHT BEARER of the World for the purpose of DECEPTION... Facts and Truth, Biblically and logically speaking... Amen

The Roman Catholic Addressed/Called Mary, mostly as "VIRGIN MARY"... while in Luke 1:42 (paraphrased) clearly exclaimed by Elizabeth to Mary, in a loud Voice, "BLESSED" are you (Mary) among Women, and Blessed is the Child you bear! (blessed is the Fruit of your Womb!)".... (Luke 1: 46-47) and Blessed Mary replied, "My (Mary) Soul MAGNIFIES (present tense) the Lord and my (Mary) Spirit REJOICED (past tense) in God my (Mary) Savior."... She acknowledged/proclaimed to herself, that she needs a SAVIOR (NOT the doctrine of 1854 A.D. by Pope Pius IX, "Immaculate Conception") for Blessed Mary knew, "ALL (humans) have SINNED against God, according to the Scriptures... For the "Wages of Sin is DEATH"... that Christ Jesus paid on the Cross (death and resurrection), for "whosoever believe in Him (Christ) will not perish but have eternal life."

Therefore, that was what the 1st Century A.D. Christians called/addressed her, "BLESSED MARY" while she was still alive and when she died, and that is also exactly the same as what we (Christians) call/address her as our love, and respect to what she had been "Properly Addressed" more than 2000 years ago, "NO MORE, NO LESS"... exactly how she was proclaimed/acknowledged by the Prophecy in the Bible...
She was NEVER been addressed/called as "VIRGIN MARY" by the 1st Cent. A.D. Apostles, Disciples, and Christians Martyrs... Facts and Truth, Biblically speaking... Amen.

“Our Lady is the heart of the body”. That was an assertion, but nothing from scripture provides evidence for that.

Without that heart ❤️ of Mary there would be no blood pumping through the Christ baby growing in His mother's womb.

Where can I find a copy of St. Louis' "Method of Praying the Rosary"? It doesn't seem to be available.

I’m autistic and I have a special interest in Catholicism. I love learning about history of things like these! Thank you so much for the video

All the way from the Philippines I pray all the mysteries of the Rosary.Thank you Dr. Marshall and Fr.

Jesus was like us in every way except for sin. So, therefore, he practiced the Ten Commandments more perfectly than anyone, ever. He honors his Mother. To say otherwise is a very, very serious and grave sin that accuses Jesus of NOT honoring his Mother and breaking a commandment. This is absolutely blasphemous and absurd. Don't believe those who do that and avoid them at all costs. Pray for them. It isn't going to go well for them.

never thought about the luminous misteries in this sense.
But the way things are going, I guess We'll have some lots of new misteries comming soon...

The Bible clearly stated that we need not BABBLE (repeating over and over in a single prayer) from our prayers like the heathen (pagan/gentiles) do. Christ Jesus taught His Apostles to keep it short and simple, because before they ask GOD thru prayer what they need, GOD knows it already. Christ Jesus taught a simple and short prayer to GOD which is the "Lord's Prayer" as a guide pattern to our personal prayer...
Could anybody justify the logic and spiritual explanation why we need to pray more than 50 times (actual 53X) the "Hail Mary" and "Holy Mary," respectively in the rosary? Why not 10 or 12 times, nor 40 times only? And also why not 7 or 3 mysteries instead of 4 or 5 mysteries? These numbers 10, 12, 40, 3, 7 are all Biblical numbers written. Can someone logically explain to us why?

Why does the Salutation/Greetings of Angel Gabriel to Blessed Mary was made for pray? Why does the proclamation of St. Elizabeth (cousin of Mary) was also converted to a prayer? Do we have a right to choose any passages we do like in the Bible and make it into a Standard prayer to God? Why not make a prayer out of the written BEATITUDES it was also in the Bible, just like "Hail Mary?"

PART OF MY CONVERSION STORY (March 4, 22): THE ROSARY AND MERACLES I HAD, etc:
    Thank GOD for our LADY OF GADALUPE; when I visited her Shrine in Mexico in Dec. 2012. And I was suffering at the time of "Sleep Apenea" I was healed really while still there - FRARNKLY, my first intensions were to honor her.
†Also, when  I prayed the Rosary to help me to quit cigaretes on May 17, 1998, she answered my prayers immediately, though I was SUPER skeptical at that time.
†Truely, when I prayed few rosaries in December 12, 2000, I was healed from my unbelief (Jn. 14: 1) - and I tried at the time first to pray OUR FATHER, but I couldn't remember the prayer...
†For now I have recently been diagnosed of "THYROID" DESEASE which made my life upside down. I'll continue praying & trusting really! 
†Since my conversion, I try NOT to miss attending Masses weekly or daily etc. And I pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet daily at 3:00pm. And I NEVER missed.
†UNDOUBTLY, Reading & meditating on "Gospel of life" according to daily readings is like my "daily bread"! As some one says: that every winter turnes to spring. But "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 14: 1)
Thank God for the ROSARY prayer, etc 🙏! AMEN - 
†By Saba Korial, and I was born in Middle East, now Christian Catholic & Canadian.
2Timothy 2: 4 & 4: 7

God bless you both!!

Meeting people who barely knew anything about the Catholic Church. Some may have been Baptised, for instance, I can,t help feeling they have a chance of going to heaven, they believe in the same God as us. In Barbados they claim to have 100 church’s and Barbados is only 166 square miles.

Dear Dr. Marshall these podcasts help many people share their belief and your teachings. It is a way for them to be reached and have better understanding.
So Special that ALL souls May choose Jesus Christ as their Savior and repent of all their sins. ALL their sins. We have repented but are human. We are sinners therefore we have to continually repent. Otherwise we will go to Purgatory. If when we face Jesus and deal with His judgement. We are in the time of His Mercy. While we are alive we can pray for those who have died. The dead cannot pray but if alive we can pray for the dead.
Mary gave birth to Jesus. She brought Him to us and He LOVES us and wants us to be with Him. Blessed Mother Mary loves us and wants us to be with Jesus and herself…in Heaven with GOD our Father and the Holy Spirit. Three in ONE. Amen. 🙏🎁❤️🕊🌟

our creator is both inside and outside the thing made and he is around it
