Why are people replying to a thread that obviously wasn't aimed at them, just to voice their negative opinions and make the person who started the thread feel like crap? It wasn't a "is praying to saints okay?" question. He didnt ask for an arguement. If you want one go somewhere else and start one.
Anyway, OFM, my favourite saints are Don Bosco, Mary Magdelene, Padre Pio, and Francis of Assisi, amongst others.
Dont expect much positivity in regard to Catholicism on this site, but dont be discouraged or downhearted by it either. My recommendation however would be to stick to chat and leave the forums alone, since they aren't a place for us Catholics to find support and similar opinions.
