when did the rosary become a catholic devotion
History of the Rosary In 1569, the papal bull Consueverunt Romani Pontifices by the Dominican Pope Pius V officially established the devotion to the rosary in the Catholic Church.[15] Saint Peter Canisius, a Doctor of the Church, who is credited with adding to the Hail Mary the sentence "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners", was an ardent advocate of the rosary and promoted it (and its Marian devotion in general) as the best way to repair the damage done to the Church by the Reformation.[16]
Star-crossed The phrase was coined in the prologue of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet:
Bloody Mary (cocktail) The name "Bloody Mary" is associated with a number of historical figures—particularly Queen Mary I of England, who was nicknamed as such in Foxe's Book of Martyrs for attempting to re-establish the Catholic Church in England—and fictional women from folklore.
All that glitters is not gold While early expressions of the idea are known from at least the 12th century, the current saying is derived from a 16th century line by William Shakespeare.
Immaculate Conception The Immaculate Conception is commonly confused with the Virgin Birth of Jesus. Jesus's birth is covered by the Doctrine of Incarnation, while the Immaculate Conception deals with the conception of Mary, not that of her son.
Papal infallibility This doctrine was defined dogmatically at the First Ecumenical Council of the Vatican of 1869â€“1870, but had been defended before that, existing already in medieval theology and being the majority opinion at the time of the Counter-Reformation.[3]
