I guess it could appear there's some mechanical device behind the offering of Scripture other than a knowledge of Scripture. But I assure you, if you were to read the Bible you'd find the same verses I find.
What is it about "one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ" that Catholics don't get?
Please. I'll type slowly.
A prayer to a saint is a request for his intercession to the sole mediator Christ. 1 Timothy 2:1.
I am Catholic. I never ignore the Holy Scripture, and consider ignorance of it a great sin. Do not think that you post anything the Church, and I personally, never read or reflected upon.

Now, Dr . . .
I think it's well known that Roman believers and adherents are as human as the rest of us . . . regardless of pontifications to the contrary now and then.
It is a HUMAN trait to like to heap up elevated leaders and layers of elevated leaders and layers of rules and layers of rituals etc.
Even in the Old Testament, God Himself would periodically have to come in and slice straight across all the customs, rituals and rules HE HIMSELF set up because the people had begun to make of such a kind of earned righteousness as well as idols.
I don't fault the Roman brothers and sisters for being as human as the rest of us. I do for not being more aware of it and more honest about it.
