Why? Because the angels and saints are parts of the Body of Christ.

Angels are not part of the body of Christ...Where do you guys come up with this stuff???

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Have you found Luther's doctrine of "the Bible alone" in the Bible yet? It's impossible, because the books of the Bible were compiled long after the books were written. No writing in an individual book could refer to the collective whole.

Yet you hold to this non-scriptural doctrine, while condemning Church doctrines which aren't explicitly mentioned in scripture.

The angels, whose nature is superior to human nature, and saints (literally "holy") are in heaven. Why would the angels be excluded from the Mystical Body of Christ?

Communion of Saints is the Spiritual Union which Unites the Faithful upon Earth, the Souls in Purgatory, and the Angels and Saints in Heaven, in the One (1) Mystical Body, the Church, of which Jesus Christ is the Head, and the Participation of All in the One (1) Supernatural Life.

From the Catechism:

The term "communion of saints" therefore has two closely linked meanings: communion in holy things (sancta)" and "among holy persons (sancti)."

Angels in heaven are holy persons.

They come up with it because Scripture to the RCA is not his master, but his servant, to be used (abused) to support his master, Rome, or his interpretation of it, as even she does not officially teach angels are part of the body of Christ.

And if they are, then Christ died for them, and pastors (not those distinctively titled "priests" ) are overseers of them. (Acts 20:28)
