I guess if one interacts via a necromancer, you may be correct. It takes a real stretch to turn prayer requests into something from Dungeons and Dragons.
According to your twisted logic, asking my neighbors or fellow church members to pray for me would be apostasy. If the saints can pray, they can certainly pray for me, and there is nothing wrong with asking them to do so.

Nothing biblical about the intercession of the saints.
Revelation 8:3-4
And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.
Whether one were to agree or disagree with the beliefs about the Virgin Mother, there is certainly nothing there that would lead to the church that recites the nicene creed at every mass being called “apostate”.

The definition of broadband access is true 25 Mbps downloads. Satellite connections as of now don’t meet this threshold and the latency is problematic. I may not know much, but of this I know plenty after twenty years in the business.

Well, I’m not a Barney Frank fan, but that is a poor characterization of what he said. The “unfortunately” part modifies the “it can be hard to get everybody together” part. Now that he is not running for office again, he has gotten a lot closer to honesty than he has ever been.
“None of the above” is quite appropriate for a Republican primary filled with candidates that could not keep their feet out of their mouths. There are a whole lot more reasons why Newt is not an acceptable candidate, not the least of which is his lack of personal integrity. Personally, I would have preferred a brokered convention with a new candidate to any of the candidates I was offered. Sounds like you’ll be voting for Willard this fall.

Haha. You have the wrong guy. Newt lost me when he started talking about hauling judges in front of Congress and colonizing the moon. My vote was for “none of the above”.
