A guy I work with is always pestering me when I lose something to pray to St. Anthony to find it. He knows I am not a Catholic, nor do I pray to saints. He says “Tony, Tony, turn around, something’s lost and can’t be found.” Kinda akin to burying a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to help one sell a house. Scripture does not support superstitions like this; but, I don’t see any big clamour for Catholicism to denounce them either. Stick with Scripture, you don’t go too far afield. Start adding the traditions of men and you may.

Exactly. Most of the time we agree (catholics and protestants) on the true basics of Christianity, but then get off on doctrinal stuff that’s heretical, IMHO. Both sides do it.
