You do realize in your examples that the communication is between people on earth??
Yes, which is why I wrote that perhaps the impediment is some have faith that Mary and the saints are in the presence of the LORD while others do not believe that.
Also, as a Romam Catholic I find it interesting you used the KJV and not the Douay Rheims. Why?
For a Protestant, is the KJV considered the Word of God ?
For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

as authorized, but not authored, by King James
I personally use the NASB and The Greek.
Again, the examples we have in the NT are people praying to God.
It never ceases to amaze that Romam Catholics don't have the confidence to take their prayers directly to God as we're shown by Christ and the NT writers.
