Have you ever asked anyone to pray for you? Catholics simply ask the glorified saints in heaven to pray for us.

The confusion over the term "praying to" stems from the old English term, meaning "to ask." It's hundreds of years old. So "praying to the saints" simply means "asking the saints;" asking the saints to pray for us.

I have heard the sort of questions you are now asking, before. And this too as part of the thesis;

Would not God hear those prayers if they were heard in heaven?

Or is [yet] His body divided?

You asked that above question of another (lacking the [yet]), Can you not answer it yourself?
