message: The article said and I have deleted "The validity of  intercession in Judaism is disputed". The reference was to a person praying to angels to intercede, which is not the same as one person praying on behalf of another, as defined in the article. Pol098 (talk) 13:07, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The idea of interceding on someone else's behalf does not seem particularly religious. or confined to any particular religion. Surely any Roman citizen would put a slip asking for his wife to be relieved of her pain in Bacchus's grotto, or get his cousin the emperor's favourite to ask for his taxes to be reduced? Interceding, and intercession, do not seem any more interesting as concepts than, say, pleading or arguing. Pol098 (talk) 14:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

text: I disagree. Intercession prayer is a topic of research in the medical community. I'm a medical student and I have an assignment to look into complementary alternative medicine (CAM) in order to better understand why patients turn to other types of medical practise, and I found this site useful. Furthermore, I think that your reference to Roman practise would add to the historical dimension of this article. And, em, pleading and argument are both wiki pages as well. Sorry.

thread_title:  Is this article justified? 

message: Just found several length paragraphs that use poor English and betray a very slanted and 'preachy' view of intercession.  References are made to scientific journals but not sourced, and as such I believe it should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thrydwulf (talk • contribs) 19:02, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

message: This article asserts that the overwhelming majority of Anglicans are in agreeance with intercession of the saints. This is clearly a high church position, with the low Anglican church in rejection of this doctrine.
I would call into question the validity of this purported majority and would suggest that statistical referencing is required to justify it (for example, most Anglicans (who are High Church )(REF).
Given the drastic decline of the high churches in recent decades and the steady growth of low church forms I believe that this statement should be either clarified (most High Church Anglicans) or substituted (many Anglicans).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonimasu (talk • contribs) 11:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
