So am I. Protestant worship is butchered and hollow. You'll likely get some comments from Protestants who will flock here to sow Satan's rebellion. They think, at least by and large, that the saints are dead, and prayers of intercession do not make sense to them. But anyone who believes in the just in Heaven should know better. No-one is truly *dead* and their view is rationalist, as souls are in Heaven, Purgatory (a stepping stone to Heaven anyway), or Hell. Those in Heaven are with God, and have zero obstructions to him, and thus they still adore, worship, and pray to Him. Its foolish to think that those in Heaven do not want our salvation or sanctification. Protestant worship is bound to the things of this world insofar as they are taught that they are only to pray to God; as if any prayer directed to a saint whether it be the Mother of God, an angel, or a man or woman who is in Heaven *is not* immediately directed towards God Himself. Every prayer of intercession has God for end. It is a prayer to God. Protestants will try and make a million different reasons that it is not just that for every one of them will present their own reasons different from one another. This is just basic catechism, which they haven't read, but nonetheless I have repeated.
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, prayer to saints is understood as a way to ask for their intercession. It teaches that saints, being in heaven, can intercede for us before God. This is grounded in the belief in the Communion of Saints, where all members of the Church, both living and deceased, are connected in Christ. The Catechism of Saint Pius X also addresses this. It emphasizes that while we pray to saints or angels, we ultimately pray to God, who is the source of all grace. The saints are seen as intercessors who can help us in our spiritual journey, but the worship and adoration are reserved for God alone.
I am a convert from Protestantism. I was taught to not pray to anyone but God. How do I get over this. Please tell me.
