That kind of clears it up, however Christ himself said if you must pray, pray in secret and like this, "our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,...." to the Father Himself, and secretly so that we might not be seen as hypocrites as those that boast of their prayers in public.That, praying to anyone but the Father, is where Catholicism loses me. Not judging, as you have explained it better than any I have asked thus far, just giving my view. Thank you for the explanatory response and not derision.
