When you see us offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to Sts Paul and Barnabas, let me know.There is no Holy Sacrifice of the Mass...No one can offer God as a sacrifice other than God...
You can perform a ritual but I can't imagine God being too pleased about it...
Praying to dead people will be no more effective than praying to me...Your dead 'saints' are no more closer to God than I, or any other born-again Christian...

The Mass is the sacrifice of the Cross, the same one you as a Christian presumably are not unaware of. It is also commanded by God: "do this in memory of me". We do.

"A prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much",-- James 5, I believe.

No one can offer God as a sacrifice other than God This is true, BTW, which why the real Priest who offers the Mass is Christ himself. That's Catholic doctrine.
