I am happy to say so. I did not find any error at all. I was just curious where this came from. I was unfamiliar with some it. Thanks for explaining the source.

I've heard of priests who recommend praying the Rosary all day long, using your
fingers. They acknowledge that you don't get the indulgence you would if you
held beads, but they say the effect is powerful, as anyone who makes 15 decades
a day habitual will find that they do not lose the state of grace from day to day.

That says a lot.

My own experience with that is, that I'm easily distracted, and when I use my
fingers, or even one of those rosary-ring do-dads, I forget which decade I'm
on and I end up having to repeat decades. When I'm tired, sometimes one
rosary can take all day to finish, because I forget where I am, even whether
it's the Joyful, Sorrowful or Glorious Mysteries. I don't have that problem when
I hold rosary beads.

One of the principal characters in For Greater Glory, Jose del Rios, wore a rosary

as a necklace all during his time with the Cristeros, to the end of the film.

Nobody's complaining about that. His own mother puts it over his head in the film.

There are a lot of people who wear the rosary as a profession of faith. It is very interesting how they are generally persecuted, calumniated. We live in a country where a student have won the right to wear satanic religous jewelry, but that student cannot make a profession of his Catholic faith by wearing a rosary around his neck. So much for the constitution and religous freedom.
