I believe Campion's point is that you said earlier to only pray to "the Risen Christ". But now you say it's ok to pray to the Father too.

The Christ is not the Father. At least not as far as the Trinity is concerned.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

If I pray to Christ, I am praying to God, the Father.

And vice versa.

I can't believe Catholics don't agree with this. I think, more likely, it's just an instance when someone thinks they can prove a point into absurdity. My Catholic friends all understand that praying to one person of the Trinity is praying to all persons of the Trinity.

"Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

I and my Father are one." -- John 10:25-30
