>>What you call "duplicity" is strange, CB. It is a careful discernment of the meaning of words.<<
You got caught Mrs. Don-o. Might as well admit it and move on.
Well, I acknowledge that you were able to find Catholic FReepers out there who said we don't pray "to" saints. But they meant "to saints as if they were independent operators," which seems pretty clear to me from the context.
But why don't you ask them? They would not deny that we "pray to" (address) saints if it's made clear that this is only "in Christ" and "predicated on Christ" and "dependent as members of the Body of Christ"---
But ask them and see what they think.
