[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Then why do Catholics ask them for things, as the prayer CB posted clearly shows.

The saints in heaven offer our prayers and petitions to God, as we sometimes ask them to do.

the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (Rev. 5:8)

Well, then, Catholics, in asking saints to do things for them, are praying to the saints as to God, in spite of another poster’s claim that it is not so.
