I have been told, in no uncertain terms, that if I “pray to” anyone but Jesus, I am idolater.
Pointing out that the word “pray” is used analogically has proven fruitless. These people insist that there’s only one, univocal meaning to the word “pray”—adoration, worship. In the next breath, of course, they will ask for “prayers” for a sick relative. “I have a sick brother. Everybody please worship Jesus.”
Worry not thy soul about it...
I have been told, in no uncertain terms, that if I ____________; then ____________.
