So you don't ask others to pray for you. Ok.

Then you do not follow God's Word.

But I see you do believe yourself to have rid the beam from your own eye. Ok then as well.

And I hate to break it to you, but I don't follow the Vatican. You see the Roman Catholic, the Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox Churches, those which can actually trace their leadership and their teachings all the way back to the individual apostles, all teach the sound doctrine of praying with the saints.

It does not matter if it is the Vatican, Easter Orthodox, or whatever that declares certain dead people "saints" and tells people to pray to them for "intercession."

Again, that is not in Scripture, and is in fact contrary to God's Word.

"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
1 Timothy 2:5

Know this: Praying to the dead is strictly forbidden in the Bible. Deuteronomy 18:11 tells us that anyone who “consults with the dead” is “detestable to the Lord.”

You know enough information to make your choice on this matter. Choose, if you haven't already. But remember, choose wisely. Our God is a God of mercy, but He is also a God of Wrath.
