The “saints” are dead. The Apostles are dead. Mary is dead.

The Bible teaches that praying to the dead is sin and morally wrong. It further teaches that the dead know nothing (Ecclesiastes 9: 5-6). Jesus teaches that we should pray directly to God.

A feast is made for laughter,
wine makes life merry,
and money is the answer for everything.

Go to a Catholic cemetery that has a mausoleum and go inside and look at all the cards and letters on tables that are written to the dead bodies inside the walls. I guess they think the dead come out at night and read the cards and letters that have been written to them. It's real creepy.
