Well, Campion probably got tired of all of us. And rightly so.
I, simpleton, will try to fill in. All catholics know that the prayer is answered by God. We're simply thanking the saint who interceded for us.
Simple as that. "It's a catholic thing, you wouldn't understand." Help yourself, read what the church teaches. Read the history, read the catechism.
If you read it, and don't agree with it, fine.
Yeah. Endurance test, eh?
Gotta go for now, too...touch base later.
As I said earlier in this thread: 1 Cor. 1:13: "Is Christ divided?" No. Our baptism is in the same Lord, and I thank Him for all we have in common w/our RC brothers--far more (& of greater import) than we divide over.
