Although I pretty much knew everything that was in your presentation, one thing I didn't know was that the rosary was invented by Peter the Hermit, that was news to me so thanks for sharing it.
It's interesting that Catholicism has a worldwide authority figure (the pope) who's deemed to be infallible. I don't know of any other religion that is this centralized. This is beneficial for the purpose of maintaining Catholic doctrine, but devoting oneself to an earthly authority like this doesn't seem very...religious.
