Catechesis: Invocation of the Saints

The adversaries teach us to place confidence in the invocation of saints, although they have neither God’s Word nor the example of Scripture. They apply the saints’ merits on behalf of others in the same way they apply Christ’s merits, and they transfer to the saints the honor belonging only to Christ. Therefore, we cannot accept their opinions about the worship of the saints, nor the practice of invocation.—Ap XXI:31
