Would it be disrespectful if I edit a rosary, just so it can fit my car mirror better?

[odisho21]

Hello,

I purchased a blue rosary a year ago and placed on my car's rearview mirror. Blues my fav colour lol. I want to shorten the length by removing some beads. So that it fits better.

My question is, is it disrespectful if I edit a rosary, just so it can fit my car mirror better?

Thanks for your time, love and respect to you all!

You'd probably get a better answer in one of the subfora that are specific to Catholics: For example, One Bread, One Body - Catholic

Sure, go for it. Although it won't be as usable as a rosary.

According to what I looked up on the internet, it's okay.

AI Overview:

Yes, a rosary can be "shortened" by only praying a portion of the decades, meaning you can choose to pray just a few decades instead of the full five decades that make up a traditional rosary; this is often done when someone wants to pray a shorter version due to time constraints or personal preference.

In short, it's 1/5 of a full Rosary, which is made up of five full decades. You can use this shortened Rosary to simply pray one decade, or pray a full Rosary by repeating the prayers around the one decade Rosary five times.

Why would he use it, if it's literally a decoration in his car?

I wouldn't ask Catholics in this forum for advice. See an actual priest, even if in the confessional.

...There's a reason why forums like "Catholic Answers Forums" closed down and cast all their posters away - because they were giving bad advice. Many are not qualified to answer anything regarding the faith.

Don't listen to people you don't know. Consult a priest about it first.
