Saints invoked as intercessors, yet often with the same formulas used toward God
Roman doctors say Saints are asked to obtain goods from God, not to be the authors who give them.
In practice people still ask Saints outright for every bodily and spiritual good.
They use the same prayer-forms as toward God, and explain the difference as a difference of sense.
Latin
IX. Profiteri tamen Doctores Ecclesiae Romanae Sanctos invocandos esse, non ut ipsi dent bona quibus egemus, quasi eorum essent authores atque largitores, sed ut illa a Deo precibus & meritis suis nobis impetrent. Quod non obstat quominus saepe bona quaecunque corporis & animae simpliciter a Sanctis postulent, & apud Sanctos utantur iisdem precandi formulis, quibus utuntur apud Deum; etsi dicant alio sensu se illas ad Sanctos quam ad Deum dirigere.
