The Roman Catholic Church believes that Mary was:

Think about it - where did you get the belief that you go to this particular saint for one thing, and another saint for another
You have two relatives who are Christians, a brother and a sister. Your brother is a Navy Seal, your sister suffered a miscarriage. If your wife miscarries, is she going to ask your brother or your sister to pray for her?
It's unfortunate that the old hymals with the song "Family of God" got tossed by protestant churches trying to be culturally relevant and seeker sensitive. If they were still using them, this might not be so hard to understand.
As for your stubborn, extrabiblical insistence that the saints of previous generations are dead and cannot be spoken to
"And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him." (Matthew 17:2)
"And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 11:26)
Any other questions?
Again, I just can't believe how frequently you seem to think something supports your point, when it doesn't AT ALL. When Moses and Elijah appeared, ONLY JESUS TALKS WITH THEM. THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T UTTER A WORD AT THEM.
And I didn't say saints were "dead". You continue with your dishonest straw men. Seriously, if you can't understand what's being argued, please stop arguing.
