Reading Samuel, there is a specific event which Saul talks to a sooth sayer and gives him an appearance of Samuel. How Does the Catholic church defend the concept of saints coming down and assisting us as it could be used against them?
 
Samuel was seeking to control the spirits of the dead and force them to answer him. That is not what Catholics do, we simply ask them to pray with/for us to God. If God chooses to give us a vision that’s His business.

There is a world of difference between accepting a vision given freely by God, and attempting to force the spirits to appear.
