When you are in stress as those heathen you don’t pray through those who have died?

Sorry, I have no idea what this question even means, much less how to answer.

Catholics do not call up the spirits of the dead for knowledge of the future nor to circumvent or contradict God’s Holy Will.

In case you don’t already know this, the intercession we seek from them is with God and only according to His will.

We would never ask a saint for something that was contrary to God’s will for us.

Let that one sink in for a moment.

So the saint goes to God and checks His will for you, and then proceeds to either accept your request or deny your request..the saint is the middle man in negotiations between you and God.. is this right?
