Exorcist Father Dan Rehill explains why Catholics pray to Mary and the saints. Understand this practice and clear up common misconceptions about idolatry.

Many people struggle with the concept of praying to saints because they interpret it as an act of worship reserved for God alone. This video clarifies that the Catholic practice of praying to saints is actually a request for intercession, similar to asking a friend or family member to pray for your needs. By viewing these individuals as brothers and sisters who have already reached heaven, we can see how they offer support to the living.

Father Rehill addresses the specific criticisms often raised by Protestants, providing a theological framework that distinguishes between adoration and honoring those who have finished their race. This session is designed for those seeking to defend their faith and gain clarity on how intercession functions within the church. Recognizing these distinctions is essential for anyone wanting to maintain a traditional understanding of our relationship with the communion of saints.
