Perhaps all you Catholics can clear up for me where Prayer to the Saints... is Scriptural. ~ (SMEDLEYBUTLER)

I'll be happy to provide you with many passages from Scripture, but first I need to know if you ever recite the Apostles' Creed and utter the words "communion of saints"?

I just can't seem to find in this passage where it says to pray to the dead or pray to any man.

While not limiting ourselves to this one passage, is it your contention that the Saints in heaven are dead and that Jesus was not a man?

Does "communion mean Prayer or

com·mun·ion   Pronunciation Key  (k-mynyn) n.

1. The act or an instance of sharing, as of thoughts or feelings.
2. Religious or spiritual fellowship.

3. A body of Christians with a common religious faith who practice the same rites; a denomination.
4. Communion Ecclesiastical.
a. The sacrament of the Eucharist received by a congregation. b. The consecrated elements of the Eucharist. c. The part of the Mass or a liturgy in which the Eucharist is received.

The Saints in heaven that died IN Christ are dead..but all living believers are Saints.Show us please where scripture teaches this is correct or godly?

BTW The communion of saints means the living church
