Paper 1
Revise: Popular PietyIn Catholic Christianity, two important examples are the Rosary and the Stations of the Cross.
Distinguish the two practices: Rosary beads count prayers; the Stations of the Cross use images to guide reflection on Jesus’ final journey.
Qualify contrasting views: some evangelical Protestants reject the Rosary, but this does not mean that all non-Catholic Christians reject every form of popular piety.
