The words contain implicit heresy; that God is within members of false religions. He is not - or do you hold this heresy? The discussion seems to have revealed that it was not intended in a heretical manner anyway.
For you to "hypercritically" insist that every materially, implicitly or potentially heretical statement should just be ignored is to condone or at least make light of heresy. If such statements remain without correction or clarification on a "TRADITION CATHOLIC" forum, then who knows what it might grow into in this or that unwary person's soul?
Non-judgmentalism (heresy).
Judging falsely and knowingly (mortal sin)
Are you saying that the belief that one can never admonish another's sin is a correct belief?
I'll take your silence as a concession.
So to answer your question, I would use the prayer to the saints method as often as you throw a "hail mary" pass in football. The only exception is St. Michael , who has always stood for strength against the enemy. (was Pope Leo XIII thinking the same thing? ) You need good angels to keep the demons off your back, not invite them in with false apparitions.
What about the Scriptural evidence that shows we have a better chance to be heard before God when we pray through holy intercessors? What about all the saints who promoted devotion to the Most Holy Virgin?
What about Blessed Louis de Montfort's True Devotion to Mary, which he called the SUREST ROAD to salvation?
Do you write all this stuff off?
I just remember a Protestant boss I once had who said to me "I don't need no Mary and no saints, I go straight to the Man."
Right, Ray. Because you're His favourite Anglican heretic?
