Some of these were found in Canada by a priest several years ago already.

MANILA – An exorcist warned the public about the circulaton of Satanic rosaries and religious items in the country, during the most recent airing of the once-a-month spiritual warfare episode of the Diocese of Novaliches’ Radio Veritas segment “Hello Father 911”, on Aug. 7.
“Kapanalig listeners, be careful as the rosaries you might be using could actually be infested or cursed,” warned Libera Nox chief exorcist Fr. Ambrosio Nonato Legaspi in Filipino.
The rosaries are those being given away by Satanists, explained the priest, particularly by the group called Iluminati. He said the rosaries have been “prayed over” by its makers, consecrating them to evil so that whoever uses it will be followed by evil spirits.
Odd symbols
“These were made not only to be simply given away but to deceive Catholics…so that evil spirits will haunt them,” he added.
According to Diocese of Novaliches Office of Exorcism (Libera Nox) assistant case officer Philippe De Guzman, who was also present during the said episode, Satanic rosaries have odd symbols on them that are not readily noticeable to the untrained eye. Often made of plastic, the symbols could either be a snake wrapped around the cross, a pentagram, and/or a sun with rays, an insignia of the Illuminati.
De Guzman said they again confiscated such a rosary from a recent infestation case handled by Libera Nox. Similar rosaries have been confiscated from prior infestation cases but the last rosary turned out to be the reason why an evil spirit resided in the room of the client, causing disturbances in the house.
“Sometimes, there are no symbols,” said Legaspi said pertaining to what De Guzman described, “but a ritual was done on it like the one we mentioned previously about Botanica, the occult store in many places abroad like in the US where religious items are brought so they could inflict harm on others.”
He divulged how witches come to Botanica to buy gadgets and paraphernalia used in the occult or to simply buy items like religious images so that a curse or evil spirit can be attached to it before it is given away as a gift. Thus, he reminded the need to be extra careful in receiving religious items.
Exorcising religious articles
In this regard, Legaspi urged priests to bless religious items according to Catholic rituals and to exorcise them, especially if its owners have experienced paranormal occurrences.
“Not just a blessing, these items should be exorcised. Not just an ordinary blessing where water is just sprinkled–as most priests commonly do–but to use the Catholic ritual…that would frighten the demon away,” he emphasized.
The exorcist explained that simply sprinkling holy water on the cursed or infested item will not make the evil spirit go away, especially if the ritual carried out by the Satanists lasted for 30 minutes, making it a major curse.
He, however, denied the need to perform a longer blessing to undo the evil ritual but to simply carry out one prescribed by the Catholic Church. There is no need for an exorcist to do so since the Book of Blessings of the Old Rite prayers can be said by any priest for this purpose.
In addition, Legaspi also warned about Masonic medals that are also in circulation. He said these look like the that of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal except that a compass, which is the insignia of the Masons, can be found at the bottom. Masons, a secret society of men, have been known and declared by the Catholic Church as anti-Christian and anti-Church.
The spiritual warfare episode of the Diocesan of Novaliches on Hello Father 911 airs every first Monday of the month from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
During the Aug. 7 episode whose topic is “Infestations, Padugo, and Pagaalay (Common Reasons For Infestations)”, Legaspi and his team explained that infestations occur when an evil spirit resides in an object, animal, or place due to sin, occult practices, Feng Shui, paganic rituals, violence, and murder.CBCPNews[/color]

I'm not particularly concerned about the Spiritdaily site as we are to discern what we read.
Even the devil himself tells the truth sometimes.  What better place to hide the truth than amongst questionable material.  (No I'm not advocating we search out questionable material!!!)

Back in the 1990's a very devout elderly priest from the FSSP here refused to bless (and demanded they be destroyed) these cheap rosaries with the accult crucifixes.  He identified them at a glance!
I hadn't come across any so forgot about it until I read the article today.
After posting the article here I went and checked some rosaries I had for distribution and sure enough
I found two..... exactly as described in the article.


They seem to be on the 10-25 cent cheap rosaries from China with plastic beads melted right onto string.

Every edition of the Raccalta demands crucifixes be made of a substantial material but even traditional Catholics  have fallen for the cheap stuff.

I wish priests would refuse to bless articles made of shoddy material.  After all a sacramental is for honouring Almighty God, and He should have only the best we can afford.

I believe that it is the prayer that makes the rosary holy. When we pray the rosary the demons fly away form us and the kingdom of Satan is made lesser than it was. The Holy Virgin will come to the aid of all those who call themselves her children and try to live the holiness that god calls them to.  

That is scary.   If you look at the Crucifix, there is no face. What does the Papal cross look like before Vatican II?

Traditionally, it was a shepherd's staff. The hook was used to gently grab a wayward or lost sheep's hind leg. Much like this depiction (recognize this Shepherd)?
