“my boss or the companys CEO?”
Terrible analogy. The all powerful God who flung stars out from His hands is not a CEO. But more importantly that God is very personal and no intermediary is needed to access Him. He exists in three persons for us.
No intermediary is needed to access Him. That was taken care of on the cross. The curtain was torn in the temple, symbolizing our direct access to him.
Terrible
Ha! ya beat me!

Terrible analogy.”
It was not an analogy made in disrespect of God: it was the simplification of something complex.
“The all powerful God who flung stars out from His hands is not a CEO.”
Of course not! Neither was Jesus our Messiah literally a grain of wheat; He used something people could relate to in order to make a point.
“But more importantly that God is very personal and no intermediary is needed to access Him.” .
That is your belief. We as Catholics believe in The Communion of Saints. This is the concept to which the analogy pertained. (Not to be confused with Holy Communion, Which is Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament)

Chapter 7, explains this doctrine much better than I can!
“He exists in three persons for us”
We do agree that there is One God in Three Divine Persons: Father, Soon, and Holy Spirit- a Mystery of Faith to us in our human nature!
God bless you!
Amen! Why is so many people are afraid to go to God directly? Why, when He has already told us we can approach the throne of grace through Jesus Christ and call Him ABBA (Daddy), do some people STILL imagine Mary or angels or “Saints” will give them a better chance???
