Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in [a] the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12
Well since I’m not “consulting” the dead but rather asking them to pray for me, I’m made in the shade!
That's an expression I haven't heard in a while; that's like the bee's knees. ;^)
So the Catholic definition of "consulting" doesn't include "praying to" now? Or maybe the Catholic definition of "dead" doesn't include Christians?
