Biblical Evidence 🧾 for the Communion of Saints

✅ This volume consists entirely of papers 📜, essays, and ➕ dialogues originally posted 🏤 on my website and ➕ blog (both named 📛 Biblical Evidence 🧾 for Catholicism): written 🖋️ between 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣5️⃣ and ➕ 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣1️⃣. These have been edited, revised, and ➕ combined in various ways, in order to clarify the thoughts 💭 and ➕ eliminate repetition. Most of the queries that I originally responded to came ⤵️ from our 👥⬅️ Protestant brethren in Christ. These occurrences afforded me 👤⬅️ the opportunity to defend and ➕ clarify what Catholics believe 💜 with regard to the communion of saints, why ❓️ we 👥⬅️ do, and ➕ to demonstrate that Catholic beliefs are in harmony with Holy Scripture. Many topics are covered 📔 in the 2️⃣1️⃣ chapters, including the invocation, intercession, and ➕ veneration of saints and ➕ angels 👼, images, idolatry, relics, purgatory, prayer 🤲 for the dead ☠️, and ➕ controversial devotional practices. It is my sincere hope 🔮 and ➕ prayer 🤲 that my own ruminations along these lines may be of some benefit to others, and ➕ both edifying and ➕ educational.
