Just to forewarn you, Aaron dialogued with one professor, who told him upfront that the idea was peachy, not knowing who he was. Then when he found out, he said he’d not have admitted it (my wording). So you may find you run up into the fabled Mormon duplicity. Like asking a RC if they pray to dead people.

“Like asking a RC if they pray to dead people.”

I’m a Catholic here and I’ll take your bait to simply respond that I’ve NEVER prayed to a dead person in my life. As I am sure you know, “pray” means to make a request or ask. I have requested the prayers of many fellow Christians on this earth as well as of the saints in heaven.

I have every reason to believe that the saints of heaven are much more alive in Christ than you or I. If you dispute this, than we have a very different understanding of the power of God’s saving grace.

Wear your hidden camera and sensitive microphone.

And you may (likely) capture a Jesse Jackson moment.

We do pray that those who are in Heaven add their prayers to ours asking for Our Lord to hear our prayers. Is that what you are having trouble understanding and articulating?
