I find it curious to see the objections which some non-Catholic Christians have to the Catholic devotion to the saints. For this, too, seems an organic continuation of Judaism, well supported by the Jewish scriptures as well as tradition. If Catholic devotion to the saints truly constituted a veiled form of idolatry, as is sometimes mistakenly suggested, than it should be more offensive to Biblical Judaism than to any other religious system, since it was the Jews who were given the honor of introducing to all of mankind the worship of the one true God, to the exclusion of all other gods or "idols", for the very first time in history. The rejection of idolatry is at the very heart of God's revelation to the Jews. There are over one hundred vehement prohibitions against idolatry in the Jewish scriptures, including, of course, the very first of the Ten Commandments: "I am the LORD your God;You shall have no other gods before me;" (Exodus 20:2-3).

If anyone should object to the veneration of the saints as a form of idolatry, it is the Jews. Yet profound veneration for saints permeates the very same scriptures in which one finds the prohibitions against idolatry. God even identifies Himself in reference to the greatest of the Jewish saints, the three Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (later renamed Israel). When asked by Moses who He is, He replies: "I am;the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." (Exodus 3:6).

Abraham is considered the first and greatest of the Jewish saints, rightly held by the Jews in the highest veneration, because all of the blessings which God promised for all eternity for the Jews came to the Jews solely because they were the offspring of Abraham.

The same principles can be applied in understanding the Catholic veneration of the Saints.

As the Jews owe Abraham veneration as the source of all of their blessings, certainly no less do all Christians owe Mary veneration as the source of all of theirs. For as it was Abraham's pleasingness to God which brought about the Jewish blessing, so it was Mary's pleasingness to God which enabled the greatest blessing known to mankind -- the birth of God as Man, Jesus -- to come about.
Mere common decency would demand that the Jews venerate Abraham, and the Christians Mary, if only out of gratitude for the blessings which they enjoy as a result of these saints' virtue.

In prayer, it is typical for Jews to refer to God as the "God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel".
The Catholic who embellishes his prayers to Jesus with references to Mary thus is doing the same thing as the Jew who makes repeated reference to Abraham -- reminding God of His special love for the named person, and laying claim to some of that love as his/her descendant. And since Abraham is the father of the Jews, and Mary the adoptive mother of every disciple of Jesus, the respect shown to them is no more than the fulfillment of the fourth commandment "Honor your father and your mother." (Exodus 20:12)

Another aspect of Catholic devotion to the saints which sometimes draws criticism is the typical attention Catholics pay to the bodies of "dead" saints. Yet this form of devotion is also familiar to Jews and to the Jewish scriptures. The burial site of the three Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has been venerated continually by Jews since their deaths about four thousand years ago. As Catholics make pilgrimages to the tombs of "dead" saints (sometimes enclosed in churches) to pray, so do Jews, both in Biblical times and still today.

I dont understand why Americans are divided by political agendas. Republican, Democrate, Liberal, Left-Wing. Why dont we just say to hell with all of them and debate the issues as what we are, human beings.
