“...Praying to any man (or woman) who is not the Son of God is not my ideal....
Don’t ever ask anyone to pray for you.”
There is a HUGE difference between praying FOR someone and praying TO someone.

Pray means “ask.” Asking the Blessed Mother or St. Peter to pray for us is no different than asking Auntie Elsa to pray for us.
If the former is wrong, so is the latter.

YES. And there is a HUGE difference between ASKING someone to pray FOR you and praying TO that person.
Catholics ask others -- including the Saints and Mary -- to pray FOR them, we do not pray TO them (not unless we are heretics).
