Why don't you believe those church fathers I just cited who all condemned praying to angels, spirits of those who have departed life on earth, but rather taught emphatically to pray to GOD AND GOD ALONE?

It seems that practice had crept in, being taught by Celsus, which motivated Origen to write against it. Alas, it came back in the Roman religion.
