:::We need to distinguish between those elements of Christian culture which regard all contact with the dead as "occult" (i.e., forbidden because it's dangerous to your soul) and those which tolerate or encourage some contact, such as veneration of saints. Some Roman Catholics even pray to [[patron saint]]s. For example, here is a [http://www.stanthony.org/prayers/novena.asp#QS2 prayer to St. Anthony]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:59, 4 February 2010 (EST)
