G'day, g'day, and welcome to Pints with Aquinas.

My name is Matt Fred.

And today I want to discuss why Protestants or evangelicals, depending on how you identify

or refer to yourself as, could pray the rosary without this necessarily being a threat to

their Protestantism.

So obviously as a Catholic, I want Protestants to become Catholic, to embrace what I consider

to be the fullness of the truth that God wants for Christians.

But in this video, I'm going to set myself a more modest task.

I just want to suggest that as a Protestant, if you've been attracted to the rosary, maybe

you've just sort of seen some rosary beads on television or something and you've thought

to yourself, of course, that kind of looks cool.

How would I get into that and is it even okay?

I want to respond to that and maybe help you see why you could pray the rosary without

having to become a full-fledged Catholic.

Okay?

So if you are a Protestant here, like I am so glad to have you here.

Thank you so much for being here.

I know it always sounds slightly patronizing when people say what I'm about to say, but

let me say it anyway.

Because I mean it.

I have Protestant friends, obviously, who I love and who teach me to love Jesus Christ.

I'm thinking of a couple of friends in Portland, Oregon.
