I'm not Catholic, so this isn't on my radar at all--but neither is anything remotely like it. There's a general sense that the government and media are growing more and more anti-orthodox Christian, but nothing like this.
News reports have said that "microdosing" LSD is popular in some circles; some reporters have tried it out. That might have some explanatory power.
There's actually a good bit in the article about what the author sees as the positive aspects of the rosary in politics, starting in the fourth paragraph. The author just wants to say that it's unholy when used by, you know, those people -- to include anyone with concerns about Vatican II, not just militia members.
My impression is that it is the left who is obsessed with it. The 2A people I know just regard it as a good tool for common possible defense scenarios.
It's rather like people in later centuries claiming that the puritans were obsessed with sex. Not really. It's more likely we who are obsessed. This resurfaced during the Clinton scandal, when it was supposedly conservatives who were obsessed with his sexual behavior. Conservatives had a long list of things they felt were corrupt about him, but it didn't get much traction until the general public got titillated talking about sex. It was his defenders who were obsessed with proving it was no big deal, because that was their value.

Good to know that the Left is beginning to recognize that the rosary beads are such effective mass destroyers of Satan's minions.
Could their newfound angst be from who they fear the targets are? [/snark]

I seem to recall that rosaries played a spiritual role in the collapse of Polish Communism. Which might explain the panic.
