Im always amazed that when topics like this come up, the entire early church history from the resurrection up to thru the first five hundred years, features the church WHO HAD ACCESS THE SCRIPTURES, THE CHURCH, THE ACTUAL APOSTLES THEMSELVES (the earliest church fathers)AND THEIR SUCCESORS, and wrote about all they were taught and experienced, and NONE say anything disparaging praying to the saints or Mary for intercession, in fact, their writings are full of admonitions to do so..

why do modern day critics ignore all that?

Hmm....can you document any of them encouraging anyone to pray to the dead? I can't seem to find any doing so.
