The Appearance of the Virgin of the Rosary
\r
The heretics, preaching and setting an example of an austere and poor life, had good influence over the people due to the luxury, ignorance, and sometimes the dissolute life of the clergy, which was fundamentally opposed to the reform sought in the 11th century by Pope Gregory VII. To win, it was necessary to fight the Cathars on their own ground, combining preaching with poverty and austerity of life; this is what Diego and Dominic had already begun to do, the latter then centering his apostolate on public debates, personal conversations, negotiations, preaching, persuasion, prayer, and penance supported by the Bishop of Toulouse, Folco of Marseilles. Still in Languedoc, in Prouille, he founded a monastery that welcomed women who had abandoned Catharism; meanwhile, men who shared his ideals also gathered around him, and with them he developed the idea of giving the group's preaching a stable and organized form. During his stay in Toulouse, as recounted by Blessed Alan of the Ripe, Dominic had a vision of the Virgin Mary who pointed out the rosary to him as the most effective prayer to combat heresies without violence. Since then, the rosary spread to become one of the most traditional Marian prayers. Together with Folco in October 1215, Dominic participated in Rome at the Fourth Lateran Council and presented his project to Innocent III, who approved it. The following year, on December 22, it was his successor, Honorius III, who gave the official and final approval to what was called the "Order of Preachers. "
