My grandfather was Catholic and my grandmother told me that what he at the same time, cree. Mary was the mother of God, you are not worthy to pray directly to God (sposa we pray to Mary and she is sposa tell God what you prayed for.)
to pray to the saints becuz believe that each person is considered a saint is "closer to God and to sumwhat a prophet.
oh, and luckily my grandmother was able to convert my grandfather out of the Catholic faith. no offense to Catholics, but I say to the Catholic faith is full of many misinterpretations of the Bible

The Virgin Mary and other saints are not "of God (s)" for your reference to Exodus 20:2-3 does not apply. Nowhere in the Bible is not to say they are only talking to the Lord. Talking to those who have died is not prohibited by Scripture. I know people who talk to dead relatives. I know that people talk to Jesus and his name aloud, as they believe that Jesus and God are one in the same after the death of Jesus … Why not just say "God"? in your prayers and all the references?

They are prayed to be prayed through. It is hoped that, by virtue of saints to be able to carry their prayers to God so that they were granted.

In the Old Testament God is the principal to go to one, and still is, but when he sent his son Jesus to die for us on the cross, Jesus discovered every sin that was never his body while he was dying.When cried out, Father why have you forsaken me tu? God can not look directly at the sin, he or destroyed by sure.He turned their eyes to Jesus, just before he took the sins of the world.
Mary is not a god, or the saints.
The priest speaks in the nearest you can not save you.That little wafer to put in your mouth can not save or cleaning your sins.Jesus which was the sacrifice to end all sacrifice.HE is the only path to kingdom of heaven.
After Jesus sacrificed himself, Christianity was introduced, and all the Jewish sacrifices stopped.Hence, separation of the Jews Christians.If and you will notice, the Torah is the Old Testament, New Testament does not come up only.The about Jesus.

That's a good question and also determines that Catholics have to go through them again and see what a mistake being made to invent their own rules of religion! I am a Muslim by the wayside.

Because they believe in their traditions of the Bible.
Mat 15:3 Jesus said, "Why break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?"

Because the Virgin Mary and the saints are like our lawyers, and can ask God directly to help us.

Because they believe (and unfortunately they are wrong) that the Old Testament and the law of Moses was done away with. Sweetest Catholicism began lining paganism and idolatry during the fourth century AD and have been doing since then. They believe they have the authority to turn the traditions of men in the traditions of God. Just blame everything on the Roman emperor Constantine.
Also in the sentence (or by) the dead is a sin. No matter how holy they were.
