Really. Nice straw man.
Intercessory prayer is a wonderful thing; I pray for my family and friends -- and others who are in desperate need of the saving knowledge of the Gospel -- but I pray to God, not Mary, or other saints that are in Heaven. Did you read what I wrote? Intercessory prayer is praying to GOD ALMIGHTY.
Praying to Mary is idolatry. The only way to ask her for anything is to pray to her...

How many times have you been told that Catholics do NOT pray TO Mary. We ask her to pray for us.
