Why do Catholics pray to Dead People?

When you think of saints, what image comes to mind? Maybe halos and angel wings, or maybe a football team from Louisiana. Or maybe you think of one of the most difficult stumbling blocks that Catholic belief presents for Protestants: the doctrine of the communion and intercession of the saints. Why do Catholics pray to dead people? Karlo Broussard joins us.

Karlo Broussard is a staff apologist and speaker for Catholic Answers. He travels the country giving talks on apologetics, biblical studies, theology, and philosophy, and is a regular guest on the radio program Catholic Answers Live.
