Let me try this again --

So, Roman Catholics pray to the created, not the Creator

The post says basically, 'this prayer is good for those coming into this discussion' -- and it's a prayer to the Archangel Michael. Roman Catholics pray to a created being INSTEAD of praying directly to God?

"Our Father...."

No one else. Just God.

Please -- focus.

So.. Roman Catholics, according to your post (or at least some of them) pray to angels. This is heretical. Do you not see that? When Christ taught his disciples to pray, He didn't say, "pray like this: Archangel Michael/Mary/St. So-and-So, patron saint of Widget makers...." NO!

“This is heretical.”

By definition, nothing the Church believes can be heretical.

AMEN!

Did you ever think you'd have to make such simple corrections regarding Christianity?

Praying to angels. Praying to human beings. Praying to dead people who may or may not be in heaven.

One of my favorites is the idiotic advice of Francis of Assisi -- "Pray without words."

Kind of like "believe without thought."
