We were too quick to laugh at the hysterical and bigoted moonbats at The Atlantic for denouncing the rosary as “an extremist symbol” and “a weapon.” Christopher Bedford makes the case that they have stubbed their toe on the truth:

[I]n a world that calls sex love, puts money over people, vandalizes churches, firebombs pregnancy clinics, aborts children, harasses priests, arrests pastors, fires and demonizes Christians, mocks God, and celebrates public pride in deadly sins, the rosary is indeed extremist — a rejection of a fallen society and the ugliness it wallows in.

The rosary is indeed a weapon, too. Since ancient times, we’ve believed we must “put on the armor of God,” and that, “our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.”

There is even such a thing as Combat Rosaries:

They’re prayer beads designed by Wisconsin priest Fr. Rick Heilman. In a post on his site, Heilman describes his frustration with the delicate and effeminate nature of most rosaries, and how he designed his Combat Rosaries as an homage to those that France and the United States provided to Catholic soldiers during the First World War. …

[T]he commander of the Vatican Swiss Guard called these rosaries “the most powerful weapon that exists on the market.” Of course, concepts like evil, demons, masculinity, and religion make modern, secular liberals deeply uncomfortable.

That rosary beads have set hair aflame at The Atlantic proves they are weapons in the hands of people degenerate establishmentarians would regard as extremist.

The rosaries today, just as in medieval times, are an explicit rejection of the sins of our culture, the sins that surround us.

When you take an honest stand against a fallen world, don’t be surprised if that world doesn’t embrace you, or even accuses you.

When taking an honest stand, don’t hesitate to employ extremist weapons like the rosary.
