Recently I came across an attractive little booklet entitled, How to say the Rosary, written by an Anglican. It was well printed and everything about it was in the best possible taste. There were artistic prints, the letterpress at first sight seemed very good, and the instructions admirable: it was almost too good to be true. I turned over the pages and read on to what actually turned out to be the bitter end, for I was told after the third Glorious Mystery, that the last two. the Assumption and coronation of Our Lady, were to be omitted because there was no justification for them in Holy Scripture. That meant presumably that they were nowhere explicitly mentioned in the Bible. Well! I had already been told to say the Hail Mary, including the second part in which our Lady is invoked as Holy Mary, Mother of God— a title not to be found in Scripture and (like the Glory be to the Father) only explicitly formulated as Catholic doctrine in the fourth century. Then too the Salve Regina is not to be discovered in so toany words in Scripture, and I could not help thinking that my would-be instructor in how to say the Rosary was being a hit inconsistent.
