I do. But I dunt talk to them, kneel before them, or believe the one they represent has any more influence with God than me.

these issues are all settled by the authority of the apostles in the church thru her councils
The iconoclast and faith alone are condemned by apostolic authority
the communion of the saints
All those living or gone before us in union with the one mediator are in communion with God and us!
Christians do pray for each other I believe

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Soooooo I asked you to "quote that teaching from The Church".
You failed (once again) which means you have made another false accusation (once again).
Prayer to the Sleeping St. Joseph
Oh St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
So that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving Fathers. Oh St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.
Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.
St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me and my loved ones. Amen

What a beautiful prayer! Thanks for sharing it.
Are you ever going to provide evidence for your accusation? Or just continue to ramble on nonsensically?
Are you saying that only our local church taught us to pray the rosary in front of the statue of Mary?
I am not the one who thought that up at 8 years old.
I hated doing that, but had to do it to be qualified to go to the black box for confession.

Lol....that's what I thought. No evidence to back up your accusation.....thank you for your time
Its sleeping Jesus
And it is a very powerful prayer
I have obtained unbelievable graces by this very prayer thru 25 yrs of marriage and difficult family life the holy family got us thru
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
you cannot pray to a statue! That’s ridiculous!
I’m 60 and been a catholic all my life and I have never prayed to a statue
Christ condemns repetitious prayer, that a repeating in the context and f a single prayer, He does not condemn the repeating of a single prayer many times
Evidence for this is His own prayer!
Matt 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
