"This Rosary with the Pope is excellent. Once I started listening to it, I couldn't put it down. It has been about 5 years since I've owned this CD /cassette. I still listen to it often. The Latin language is easy to pick up. And, you can pray along with the Holy Father. It makes me feel as though he's in the same room. I LOVE IT!"
A worthwhile addition for any Catholic

"I listen to this CD in my car while commuting. It has a calming effect, and I find it keeps me saner behind the wheel. As people buzz past me, vying for that extra inch or two of headway, I find myself lost in the chant of these prayers. The fact that it's in Latin isn't the least bit distracting; indeed, it adds to the overall "feel" of the work. The only reason I give it a 4 and not a 5 is because the background organ music, while excellent, could be turned down a notch or two, as it has a tendency to drown out the dialogue."
Forwarned

"while this is an excellent CD and I love hearing the pope say the rosary, be forwarned that (english) only refers to the title of each mystery all the the prayers the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the Glory be are in latin."
It's not all in English....

"...in fact most of it's in Latin. If you're a pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic, then you'll probably be able to follow along after listening closely for a few minutes. I understood the Hail Mary, Our Father, Glory Be.. but not the rest. Had I know it was mostly in Latin, I would not have purchased it."
