It almost seems like Jesus was telling us that repetitious prayer, like the persistence of the widow to the judge, was what was the right way...and that it wouldn’t be in vain.

I bowed out of this thread for a few days because it had descended into a mudslinging match dominated by Protestant Peg Leg Smiths. It now seems as though there is some actual dialog.

Protestants seem always to act and argue as though there were only one kind of prayer, that of petition. Catholicism recognized five distinct kinds of prayer; Adoration, Expiation, Love, Petition, and Thanksgiving. It would be advisable for Catholics and non-Catholics to be more specific when referring to kinds types of prayer when defending or denigrating Catholic doctrine.
