  • Are they supposed to be the middle man between you and God?

    Yes

    Didn’t Jesus die specifically for that?

    Uhh, not exactly. I think catholic god sealed heaven off after Adam and eve did the thing. Jesus came down and died to fix everything and open heaven back up. I assume the waiting room was getting full. He also died for all sins ever, but you are still born with original sin and have to go to confession etc.

    Asking saints to intercede is just asking for personal bullshit. Different saints were known for different things, so being experts on those things they would be the best to hand your prayer based on that thing to God.












  • Estate sales. It’s just a bank or company selling a deceased person’s stuff to cover costs or save them the hassle of getting rid of it. You can get some premium stuff for cheap because it’s not worth the effort to them to do otherwise. Girlfriend found some particular figurines for 25% of what they were worth, but because they’re not a common collector item (and there were a TON) it’s easier to sell cheap than hold out for the real value.
