"Oops, I don’t see them in your list."

They are constructs of your imagination, but thank you for giving me this teaching moment. You have constructed a text book example of a straw man argument by creating a false example and then taking credit for a brilliant rebuke of it. It might gain some traction in your circles, but among the educated it looks amateurish and deceitful.

Catholics and most other Christians believe the Gospels when they say that the saints are not dead. We ask them, like we ask our friends and family, to pray for us. Mary is not excluded from this. She is who She is only because He is who He is.

Peace be with you.

“Catholics and most other Christians believe the Gospels when they say that the saints are not dead.”


The Gospels do not teach that the saints are omnipresent and omniscient, sharing in the divine attributes of God. This strawman of yours won’t help your cause.
