Roman Catholics pray to Mary and assorted saints, asking them to accomplish something on their behalf when it is only God who determines their lives and what transpires in those lives.
Prayers to Mary and assorted saints also heap praise of gratitude, glory and (what looks pretty darn close to) worship on entities other than the Triune God.
This is basic Christianity and still RCs flunk it. They must not be doing the reading.

They must not be doing the reading. They are reading the wrong stuff.

Orthodox Presbyterian doodahs pray to Machen, asking himm to accomplish something on their behalf when it is only God who determines their lives and what transpires in those lives.

There -- equally logical.

Turning that into something un-Christian tells us all a lot about how you (mis)define Christian.

This IS basic Christianity and Raving Calvinists DO flunk it.
