Ah, was it the former or the latter phrase ? His comments clearly show his objection to Catholic practice is asking any created being in heaven for assistance, and he specifically objects to Catholics asking Mary for assistance. If Mary is in heaven, as the Catholic Church believes and teaches, then that is what constitutes the objection. If one holds she is not in heave (view espoused by what's his/her name earlier), then the objection is asking anyone who has fallen asleep for assistance, but that did happen in Scripture with Abraham, although from someone else already dead. Can you see how it is confusing ?
The latter phrase “that is what troubles you” is the mind reading part.
