C'mon, it's more than that and you guys know it...You guys don't just ask your Saints and Mary to pray for you...You pray to these Saints...You ask these Saints and Mary to answer your prayers...You ask Mary to give you mercy and grace...You ask your Saints to protect you while driving your car, or find your car keys...
You pray to these Saints and ask them to give you everything from no cavities in your teeth to making sure you put on a matching pair of shoes each morning...
This has been well documented and posted on FR countless times...
You bow down to and call a human sinner 'Holy Father'...What exactly do you mean when you say that???
INDEED.
