How do you remove rhetoric from reality?	paraclete	04/05/05
I'm greatly disturbed by a statement I just witnessed on the PBS program "newshour" An american female was being interviewed regarding the Late Pope and she said "we know he will always be there and we can pray to him" Surely catholics dont equate the Pope to God, to Christ, don't think he now has any ability to answer prayer, surely the catholic church has moved on from this nonsense of saints as intercessors

this is one point where I depart from Catholic dogma they believe a saint or even Mary can hear prayers and mediate with the father on there behalf,The Bibble clearly states that we have but one mediator . (Jn.14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. )
