Very foolish post. From the time of the early Church the intercession of saints have been a common practice. Indeed, the very miraculous cures itself attributable to the saints is a testament in itself. Once again we have low-information “Joel Osteen-type” Christians who flock to these posts to deny two millennia of irrefutable Catholic belief and tradition with sophomoric references to the Bible. The curse of the Reformation lives on.

Well Steel, please post evidence from before 100 BC that demonstrates conclusively that the Church practiced or encouraged believers to pray to saints who had physically died. That first 100 years should adequately cover the traditions being passed along to each new Christian.
