Do you know of any of these conflicts between Catholic Tradition and scripture?

Lets start with prayers to dead people and especially Mary.

Catholic Catechism 2682 (from http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catechism/catechism-of-the-catholic-church/epub/index.cfm#)

Because of Mary’s singular cooperation with the action of the Holy Spirit, the Church loves to pray in communion with the Virgin Mary, to magnify with her the great things the Lord has done for her, and to entrust supplications and praises to her.

Contrasted against how Jesus taught when the Apostles asked him directly how should we pray. He did not teach us to pray to our ancestors, icons, each other, priests, crosses, saints, the apostles OR EVEN TO Jesus himself. Rather Jesus taught that we should take our concerns directly to God the father. The Lords prayer is found in Matthew 6:9-13.

The teaching of the Catholic church DIRECTLY contradicts the oral tradition and teaching of Jesus as recorded in Matthew.
