And one more thing on the prayer to saints issue - I know that I ask my friends to pray for me, in addition to asking God Himself for help, so I can see that you might want to ask those that have died (knowing that they are indeed alive) to pray for you in the same way (and perhaps in some senses, a better way, because they aren't encumbered by sin anymore. But they can't keep you accountable, either, can they?!)
I came across this interesting section in G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy, where he was talking about democracy (in terms of different classes of people) and tradition: Quote:
