Sorry ...

I was a bit annoyed about something else, ran across this thread, and took some of it out on you guys.

That was uncalled for.

Regarding being annoyed by this article...here is a link that explains (and demonstrates) that the early Church very much understood that angels and saints pray for us and that the greatest Fathers of the Church, who were much closer to God and to the roiginal Church than we are, understood and practcised intercession as part of the Faith once delivered. While it may not be explicitly stated (just as the Holy Trinity isn't) in the Bible, there is no doubt that the Church practcised prayers of intercession for the angels and saints from the earliest days.
