But you and I, like the homeless man, cannot ask someone something if they are not there, and cannot hear us.

That is the opinion of a few hundred years of Protestant scholarship. This opinion rejects the 1,600-odd years of Christian thought and belief, both Catholic and Orthodox, which existed prior to it.

Please prove to me that the saints in heaven can hear us, just like the saints we speak to on earth can.

There's plenty of proof in the way of the thousands of substantiated miracles happening in the aftermath of praying for saintly intercession. But your circular logic precludes you from believing in such miracles (i.e., since the saints can't hear us, these couldn't have been miracles).

Christ taught that you will know the true preachers of His doctrine by their fruits. As the Catholic Church is by far the largest and most universal Church on Earth, I'd say that God has blessed us pretty abundantly. Why would He bless us to such a degree if we've been angering Him by praying to His saints for all these years?

LOL. Of course the Roman edifice’s dogma on birth control has absolutely nothing to do with that ‘abundant blessing of babies’ within the RC club!

LOL
