Actually, what is being condemned in these texts from Deuteronomy and Isaiah is conjuring up the dead through wizards and mediums, not praying to saints. The Church has always condemned this. Mediums attempt to conjure up spirits and manipulate the spiritual realm at will. This is categorically different from Christians asking for the intercession of their brothers and sisters in ChristI agree except for the bolded part. This obviously isn’t true
What I meant to convey is that prayer to saints is allowed versus contact with the dead in a selfish way to conjure spirits is wrong.
