Wow! Paul said if anyone teaches a different gospel then they did that teacher was to be considered accursed. It's incumbent on Catholics to show where the apostles taught what they teach. Please see post 169 about what your church fathers said about believing something not found in scripture.

The New Testament says NOWHERE that each and every doctrine or practice taught by the apostles is written in the New Testament.

How about answering my challenge: Show me an Apostolic Father or a Sub-apostolic Father who complains about or condemns the practice of asking the saints for their intercession. If it was an innovation contrary to the Faith, then there MUST be complaints about it BEFORE circa the year 1500.
