There is a significant difference between an intercessor and a mediator. Jesus is the ONLY mediator between us and the Father but we have MANY intercessors. You do ask your brothers and sisters to intercede (pray) for you, right?
The ones that can hear us...The live ones...
Wouldn't Catholics be bummed after having died they found out none of those they prayed to for intercession were even there???
Now here's a real Catholic mystery...Their popes and cardinals and the rest of them claim heaven and hell aren't really places...They are a state of mind...A state of their mind...Kinda like the Twilight Zone...Their individual heaven may not be like any one else's heaven...How do they get someone to intercede for them who isn't anywhere other than their own state of mind???
I have faith in Jesus Christ but it takes far, far more faith to believe in the Catholic religion...
