    Simply the answer is Yes.

    In the Missal there are prayers such as the following:

    "May the intercession, O Lord, of Bishop Peter Thy apostle render the prayers and offerings of Thy church acceptable to Thee that the mysteries we celebrate in his honour may obtain for us the pardon of our sins."

    There is a prayer that the Romanist is taught to address his guardian angel: "O my good angel whom God by His divine mercy hath appointed to be my guardian enlighten and protect me, direct and govern me this night, Amen."

    • true. BTW 'Romanist' is sometimes considered derogatory.

    • This is nothing but an anti-Catholic bash, "Revelator" doesn't know what he's talkin' about.

    • "Romanist" is highly derogatory and offensive.
