Not content with his central role in the disastrous "liturgical renewal" of Pope Paul VI, Annibale Bugnini also proposed to rearrange the Rosary, in a September, 1972 schema he submitted to the Congregation for Divine Worship. Pope Paul VI responded to this ridiculous proposal through the Vatican Secretary of State: "[T]he faithful would conclude that 'the Pope has changed the Rosary, and the psychological effect would be disastrous....Any change in it cannot but lessen the confidence of the simple and the poor." And yet, in 2002, Pope John Paul II changed the Rosary. Why?
