THE VATICAN - For the first time in nine centuries, the Catholic Church has decided to change the rosary.

		As with all Catholic Church products, be sure to keep it out of reach of children.

A Vatican spokesman revealed that given the Pope’s current condition, his holiness has decided to change the rosary beads from this old variety to something considered to be more practical.

The spokesman warned, however, that "as with all things all Catholic Church products, be sure to keep it out of reach of children".
