Nor do we pray to others thinking that they’re going to give us something that God Himself wouldn’t, like God isn’t going to answer our prayers like Jesus promised He would.
Scripture calls all believers saints. The CC denies that and tries to insert a level between Jesus and us his true church. Its just one more example of inserting themselves between God and the true saints to wrest control and authority from Jesus. They claim that all saints whether on earth or in heaven are one body yet deny the one body when taking control for Jesus here on earth. Do they also contend they are over the saints in heaven?
