Invincibly Ignorant
Agree with Lens, my sister is a pastors wife in an offshoot of the nazarenes (when the nazarenes got too liberal they broke away -funny huh? I thought "liberal nazarene" was an oxymoron!) anyway- no Marian devotion there that I know of.

Ray, do you know if all of these "protestant" denominations which you listed as participating in Marian devotion share the Catholic understanding of the communion of the Saints? Just curious.

One would need to believe that the saint that is no longer living in this physical plane would be able to hear the prayers of those still alive on earth in order to intercede for them as Catholics believe.
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.Rom 8:26

Some people make up what Scripture says putting their biases in it.
1Sa 28:6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets
Scripture says that those that believe will never die!
These people never answered how many members of the body of Christ are dead?
But Christ certainly knows the heart of those who know they have no answers and are just haters!
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, Isa 66:4

I would rather spend my time with 100 cats than with 100 humans.

They say one thing about them believing they are alive but act as if they are dead.
I believe they are alive ,scripture gives us the faith to believe so,do you know what faith is? Is acting like those who are not physical here the same as trusting the Lord our God with all our heart soul and mind in accordance to truth which comes by following His precepts that give us understanding or do you see dead people walking around ? Why did Saul resort to familiar spirits guides after He had just put them away? Was it because the Spirit of Christ would not answer him according to the precept found in verse 6 of 1 Samuel 28 ,or was this particular Saul the forerunner for a Patron saints guide system ,where we have Pantheon of gods who could intercede for us because our Heavenly Father needs help because things just got out of hand? 1Sa 28:6 And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets
