Prayer to the Saints: I have never met anyone who would not ask a friend to pray for them - I cannot see the difference between doing that and asking a good friend who is no longer on earth to do the same.

Jesus Made Peter the head of the Church. After Peter it was Linus then Anacletus then Clement. Unbroken succession all the way up to Benedict XVI. The bible and history refutes your opinion. Matt 16:18 Read the Church fathers.

@tario26 Of course I talk to God in my own words, what do you think Catholics do? I also talk to Our Lady and the saints, the fact that you don't think they hear me is inconesquential. Goodbye

@Estaban333 wherever they are they have no God given power to hear prayers....only God can hear and answer prayers...have you ever tried building a prayer relationship with God and speaking to him from your heart rather then read a scripted prayer like the hail mary or such? This is what God really wants to hear you speak, talk and ask him things from your heart and build a relationship, you won't regret it

@tario26 So you believe. So how did Moses and Elijah talk with Jesus at the Transfiguration? I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." Matt. 22:32

@Estaban333 the differnce is, one friend is alive and can hear you and the other one is in the ground and can't hear you....big difference...Jesus Christ desires that we pray to God by speaking from your heart, not a hail mary or our father, just speak, talk and ask God for things from your heart, this is what he desires, not a repetition of a hail mary 100 times over...Praying to mary or saints will profit you nothing, only God can hear and answer those prayers!

When something is proclaimed a Dogma of the Catholic Church, it doesn't mean this is when it was first believed, but this is when it was made official, usually because of Heresies, denying the doctrine.

The Eucharist, for example, was always believed by Christians and can be found in the writings of the 1st century Christians like Ignatius 107AD "They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they confess not the Eucharist to be the flesh of our Saviour Jesus Christ"
