I suppose that other people can pray to saints if they like, but I don't understand how the idea of intercessory prayer, and especially intercessory prayer to certain saints associated with certain things--animals, lost objects, etc.--is going to be somehow more effective than just directly addressing prayers to God, and I don't see the conception of intercessory prayer actually coming up anywhere in the Bible or in the teaching of Jesus or in the prayers of his disciples. I just don't see why there needs to be a middleman, so to speak, when you can talk to the boss. :)

That may just be my dyed-in-the-wool Protestant upbringing talking.
