When the old Romans wanted help from the gods they offered and prayed to Mars (the god of war) or Victoria (the goddess of victory) to win wars, to Cupid (the god of love) to get a good wife and Juno (the god of marriage) to make the marriage turn out well. They had a god for every need. When the Catholics need something they do the exact same thing as the old pagans, only they pray and offer to what they call saints. They have simply replaced Troy with Christendom. St. Joseph (the patron saint of carpenters) can help them in building a house, st. "This" can help them get well from desease and st. "That" can help them get a job and so on. Like the Pagans, they have a god for every need, only they are not called gods, they are called saints, but as I will show you a saint is a god.

As in Judaism/Christianity/Islam there was a king of the gods in Greek and Roman mythology. In Judaism and the other Abramic religions, this King is simply called God with a capital G or Lord with a capital L, while in G-R mythology all the deities were addressed with their proper names. Jupiter (Rom.) or Zeus (Gr.) was his name who was elected king in the congregation of the gods, but unlike in the three Abramic religions, they were allowed to worship the other, lower deities, it was even expected, if not demanded. The same is the deal in the Catholic Church, you are expected to worship the saints/gods.

When Judaism and the other Abramic religions are called monotheistic, it doesn't mean that the Lord is the only god around, it simply means that only the Father God, the Lord or the King among - or the Father of - the gods, is worshipped and prayed/offered to. The other gods/princes/morningstars/angels etc. in whom the Name of God dwells, are merely servants and children of the Father and are not worthy of worship. We are not allowed to worship them or pray/offer to them, for unlike God they are not perfect and can't do anything unless God orders or allows them to.

In the epistle to the Romans we learn that (Ro 8:16f) "The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him". And further in the epistle to the Galatians: (Ga 4:6f) "Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God." And in John 1 we learn that they who receive Jesus, who believe in the Name of God are called God's children, for they are not children of the flesh, but are born by God. A believer of God in Christ is thereby an elohim, a god or a son of the Most High. In Deuteronomy 14:1 it says: "Ye are the children of the LORD your God". And in Psalms 82:6f: "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."

Ergo: To pray to the saints is to worship other gods than the Father. And the first commandment orders us not to worship other gods than the Father, be that Arch Michael or Ba'al. If the Church falls here, by the FIRST commandment, how can we trust her in the other things? Her ways are like the ways of her predecessors, she has only changed family from the Ba'als to the Elohim. Rome still walks on the same path she has always done, the path of herecy, romance, polytheism and religious adultary, the path that leads to perdition. She is a Babylon, a woman of romance and polytheism, a Harlot of harlots, a deceiver of gods and men.
