You're right, we shouldn't worship anyone except God. However. asking for help is not akin to worship. In no way did I intend to exalt a person as a God.

You're also correct that just because the Catholic Church claims that they have a certain job in Heaven doesn't mean that God puts them in charge of that. I can make the same argument for your claims and you can make the same for mine. That's why our relationship with God is personal and experiential.
