No offense intended, but why wouldn’t praying to a saint like, say, Saint Francis of Assisi be necromancy?

BINGO!

If necromancy is defined as the art of divining the future through alleged communication with the dead; then praying to saints - excuse me - asking dead people to influence your future is no different.

Please read the definition again — this is about fortune telling, Satanism, etc. (The evil side)

We don’t pray “to” saints. This is a mistaken way of saying we ask the saints to pray for us.

Do you pray “to” your sister? Or do you ask your sister to pray for you?
