My dealings with non-Catholics who accuse us of "praying to saints" even causes me to prompt a priest from one of the most Orthodox Catholic orders around to clarify himself on the point!!

:-) We understand though, amongst ourselves.

Yes, this is true. We know what we mean.

When we are out amongst the rest of the world, though, I wonder how we can best present these concepts to non-Catholics who will otherwise go off on a tear if you push one of their "idolatry hot buttons". I don't lose sleep at night worrying about it, because I know that God will handle it when the time comes, but I still think about it.

St. John Vianney, what a great saint, one of my favorites. We sure could use one like him today.

Pray for us Saint John Vianney.
