This is why non Catholics find Catholic beliefs so disturbing. Scripture is twisted and mangled and the result is to take away His glory from God, and give it to another.

And that's why Catholics keep on saying that your interpretation is faulty and that veneration of saints doesn't take away from the glory due to God, but honors Him, who created them.

We believe God, not man, Catholics believe men, not God

Time spent in prayer to them is time not spent in prayer to God, to whom we are commanded to pray by Jesus Himself.
