Wow. You seek protection and who do you pray to?
An angel.
It might as well be a pixie. No one hears and answers prayers but the Triune God.
"Flee from idolatry."
One of the things the anti-Catholic bigots consistently forget is that this is the United States of America. Men of all faiths — and women — have fought and died so that every citizen here has freedom of religion. It is against the Constitution to try to suppress any belief, although that, I am sure, does not trouble the bigots.
Completely aside from attacking the Holy Father, the stance of the anti-Catholic bigots on FR is that Catholics do not have the right, according to them, to practice their faith, their traditions, and their CHRISTIANITY the way they are led by the Holy Spirit.
I think it would not be going too far to state that the anti-Catholic bigots would like to outlaw the Church. There is evidence of attempts to suppress Catholic teaching, and I have no doubt that some of it comes directly from those who hate Christ’s Church on Earth.
I am quite certain that, as in ages past, some of these scurrilious attacks are based on a venal desire for the Church’s wealth to be stripped, thinking it will make the Church less effective in the world. I also note that some here have very little idea who the Church’s enemy was, during the Crusades. This is surprising, since the same Enemy is active today.
I will, in opposition to self-proclaimed Presbyterian religious authorities, pray to whomever, whenever I wish. I have a feeling that if the REAL Presbyterian church authorities saw some of the “work” of their so-called adherents, they would be ashamed.
St. Michael the Archangle, defend us in battle. Be thou our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan, and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
