In practice, it's a whole 'nother ball game.

Mlizzy...did you not see the very headline of this thread: It’s Biblical to ASK Saints to Pray for Us
How is a Catholic going to "ask" a heavenly saint to do anything if there's no cell phone service or batman-like red hotline available??????????????????
Doesn't asking a saint to do something equate to a "prayer?"
Have we finally cracked an inconsistent faultline here in this "doctrine" of consulting the dead...otherwise known as necromancy?
