Yep, I confirmed it's stupid RHP superstition based on RHP nonsense that the "ego" is supposedly bad. Look at what I found:
"Hindu tradition holds that the correct way to use a mala is with the right hand, with the thumb flicking one bead to the next, and with the mala draped over the middle finger. The index finger represents ego, the greatest impediment to self-realization, so it is considered best avoided when chanting on a mala."

I'm actually curious to the answer why some rhp people don't use their index fingers at all when using mala beads. However, they don't even know the answer why.
I'm aware that JOS site doesn't contain any statement about not using index finger for the rosary.
Thanks the_fire_starter666 , you have good sense of reasoning in answers.

It sounds like stupid superstition to me. For one because the rosary is merely a tool so you don't have to count your affirmations/mantras and focus your complete attention on them. The mantra/affirmation is the focus of the entire thing, not the rosary. So I fail to see how touching the rosary with the index finger or make you lose count or mess up the mantra/affirmation in any other way.
And don't you think that this would be mentioned in the JoS site in the page about the rosary if it was that important? That page mentions no such thing:

Hi Bros and Sis in Satan,
I've read from sources that we are not supposed to touch the rosary with our index finger when using it.
How true is this? what are your opinions regarding this and why?
Thank you for the clarification in advance!
