"Why yes, I am... I would say that any religious group that prays to the dead in direct contravention of scripture and then ascribes miracle cures to that dead person would in fact be guilty of idolatry"
Well then you are not talking about the Catholic Church since what they do is according to Scripture. For example the bones of a Righteous man brought a man back to life in the Old Testament. And as to praying for all souls than I suggest you read more of the Old Testament. Of course you may be missing a few books since every King James Version had several more books in the original. Those books were in everyone of my Families Old Family Bible by it is rare to find them in any KJV printed after 1885.
Do you want a link to prove it? I am just begging for you to ask for that. Not that it will change one thing. Some people see things the way they want to see them regardless of evidence.

Oh, I see.. the bible that we have is not reliable and only the catholics have the super secret version with all this other stuff in it that supports their idolatrous practices.
Gnosticism pure and simple
