Could someone here clarify for me whether this devotion is approved or not? In the Wikipedia article Marie Martha Chambon, under the heading Holy Wounds devotion, it states that the "chaplet was approved for the Institute of Visitation in 1912, and was extended to all the faithful at large by the Sacred Penitentiary in 1924." However, according to this article, "It is well to note here that the recent (1939) decree of the Holy Office condemning a certain 'Rosary of the Holy Wounds,' does not refer to our Passionist Five Wound Beads....The decree of the Holy Office, therefore, seems to refer to a certain new form of devotion, called the Rosary of the Holy Wounds or the Rosary of Mercy. This new Chaplet, consisting of ejaculatory prayers only, and claiming many magnificent promises from God, was achieving much publicity during the period shortly before the decree."

Are they referring to the Rosary of the Holy Wounds of the Ven. Marie Martha Chambon, or a different devotion? (Divine Mercy chaplet, perhaps?)

Thanks.
