3. No record of an Apostle or church leader before 100 AD ever praying to Mary or a departed saint

Isn't that more commonly called necromancy?

Thank you! I was wondering when someone was going to bring that up. Trying to contact the dead is a no-no:

When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? Consult God’s instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. (Isaiah 8:19,20)

King Saul paid a heavy price for seeking out Samuel from the dead. I don't recall God revoking that command anywhere.

What Prots would call necromancy;
‘tis Roman religion dressed fancy.
Best better be safe;
(That scapular won’t chafe)
the itching is ants in your pancies!
