Kind of sad, you have put your faith in a dead man, not in Christ Jesus!

I think that we should set up a special place for anti-Catholics to gather, you seem terribly keen to waltz into each and every Catholic thread and spout nonsense (e.g. that devotion to the Saints is putting faith in dead men). One would have thought that you have better things to do with your time.

Giving public thanks for favours granted by God, through the intercession of S. Jude is a well established practice. One frequently sees little adverts in newspapers saying this. My day was brightened by this story, and my faith in God deepened.

As for you statement it is the pinnacle of fatuous nonsense. I put my faith in God, yet am happy to rely on British Telecom to provide by telephone line, I also rely on Thames Water to fill the taps, this does not detract from faith in God, nor from acknowledgement of Him as the ultimate source of everything that is. Just as He allows humans to create utility companies to aid our lives, so He listens to the prayers of His Saints and through those Saints grants to faithful Christians that which they desire (if it is according to His most gracious will).

Truth hurts. No matter how you parse it up, the Roman Catholics worship and pray to dead humans. It's just plain sad. But you can get out, too.

Just give me Jesus!
