I was catholic growing up... I remember praying to "Saints" but never any particular one. I never went to confession... I don't remember anything in the bible telling me I had to confess my sins to a mortal man, and my parents were friends with the priest. I was not going to trust him with my sins!!!
Anyhow, now they pray through Saints and Mary to get to Jesus and God. Oh, and relics!!! What's up with that now Catholics? I don't get it. I have a direct line to the big guy himself.. I just dial him up when I pray. I don't go through a dirty priest, Mary, or a man made saint. I trust no one, only the main man himself.
