saints are not God or angels - they're just dead people. Doesn't remotely implicate mono vs poly

now, that said, I find the idea of communicating w dead people and asking THEM to pay to God for me to be ... pretty weird. But weird != polytheism

Praying to Saints and Mary is one of the big reasons I don't understand Catholicism. If God is omnipotent, why pray to others to help you? I'm not saying don't pray, but just go to the source.

Yes, precisely. The thing I've run into most commonly by Prots is the accusation that we worship Mary. No, we venerate her. This distinction is important.

Seems similar to how Chassidim venerate their Rebbes, ask them to intercede on their behalf, etc. In my opinion.
