the absolute absence of even one prayer to anyone in Heaven but the Lord

Perhaps

There is not perhaps. You cannot find a single prayer addressed to anyone in Heaven but the Lord, among the 200 or so in Scripture.

. Absence is not prohibition, is it?

Yikes. The Mormons would love you. Teaching for doctrines based on absence of prohibition (Kolob here they come).

The reality is that the autocratic authority you hold Rome has as regards civil laws also applies to all of Rome's assertions. She is her own law, with Scripture, history and tradition only meaning what she says they mean, or agree with her.

And angels and elders simply offering up the prayers of saints as a memorial at the time of judgment is sppsd to support them actually hearing prayers addressed to them and sanctioning it

It is supposed to suggest that the saints pray, and the prayers are heard by God

Then it infers only what may be speculated, not that they can hear all the prayers of those on earth and respond to them.

Besides the "time of judgment in these chapters of the Apocalypse is also a description of any Mass.

More contrivance. Repeating propaganda will never make it true for Rome or Communists.

Then they demand we take Jn. 6:53,54 literally

Yes, they do, because it is written the way it is. Read the scripture every once in a while without trying to deny half of what you read, and you will be Catholic again.

Rather, it is RCs who must deny Scripture contradicts Rome, and are not to objectively examine Scripture in order to ascertain the veracity of official teaching.

Meanwhile, resorting to sarcasm (again) in response to abundant proof from Scripture showing the contrary, as well as that this literalism results in contradicting modern Rome, also fails to make it true.
