DOCTRINE
Communion of Saints and Intercession
Summary
The communion of saints unites the faithful on earth, the souls being purified, and the saints in glory. Asking the saints to pray is intercession within Christ's Body, not worship due to God alone.
The exact theological classification and certainty vocabulary are provisional and require qualified theological review.
