Again we have been through this again and again. The burden of proof rests on the Catholic Church to prove your assertions. You cannot show that God approves of praying to the dead. We can show that God prohibits necromancy but Catholics put such a limited definition on necromancy you use that to avoid God truth. Quote:
nec·ro·man·cy (nek?r?-man´se) noun
1. The practice of supposedly communicating with the spirits of the dead in order to predict the future.
2. Black magic; sorcery.
3. Magic qualities.

By extension necromancy is any communication with the dead.
Black magic; sorcery. etc... are all prohibited in the Catholic Church.

I just love the way gay activists and the Catholic Church use the same tactics. You can establish almost any heresy by appealing to what the Bible and/or Jesus does not say.
You are playing games and the truth is not in you or your doctrines.
I wouldnt know of the tactics the gay activists use, as I am not gay.
The Catholic Church uses no tactics or games Aieno, but plain and simple correct interpretation and translation of scripture, something lacking in Protestantism.

Asking each other to pray for each other encourages others to look beyond themselves. Those in heaven are all ready perfict.
Yes those in heaven are perfect, who better to ask intercession of?

The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects" (James 5:16b).
