They may not pray the Rosary, but they do not find it offensive to the Faith. <br /><br />If there are Catholics who actively oppose the Rosary, then they do so in opposition to the clear and consistent teachings of the popes.

For Gentile Christians, the divine law is the Gospel. Neither the Torah nor the Gospel make any requirements concerning meditation with the Rosary.<br /><br />As far as pious exercises are concerned, it is for the pope and bishops to regulate these. In this case, "the liturgical character of a given day takes precedence over the usual assignment of a mystery of the Rosary to a given day; the Rosary is such that, on particular days, it can appropriately substitute meditation on a mystery so as to harmonize this pious practice with the liturgical season" (Directory of Popular Piety 200).

I sometimes personalize the decades of my Rosary by offering each decade for a certain need, person, or intention, with or without meditation on a particular Mystery.
