THERE is much use in witnessing to catholica or anyone else who looks to people to do the work of intercession which is expressly assigned to Jesus Christ alone!!!

the praying to dead people and other rites ad nausea are usually good ice breakers but as I am engaged with my sister and she is defending the varios constructs I find that my focus is nit to ask questions like "if the popes are infallible thenhow come there have been 3 popes at once and howcome they hve excommunicated each other?
Rather my focus has been to point out the kind of reverence and awe we ought to have for the Creator giving of himself and reaching out to us with His plan of redemtion. The reason for this is that I find that many catholics have a very vague and uncommited veiw of religion and faith they ,in my opinion, like the catholic faith because it requires so little in the area of holiness or repentance.
y'know concentrate on the relationship with Jesus and not so much the frills and ceremonies.
